Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) launched a meticulously planned attack on a military outpost in South Waziristan, resulting in the deaths of 20 Pakistani soldiers.
The assault, carried out with laser rifles and heavy weapons, targeted the Dangate outpost in Shakai subdivision late Thursday night.
The Pakistani army dispatched reinforcements, but a supporting convoy was ambushed en route, adding to the devastation. TTP claimed responsibility, stating that the attack was retaliation for a Pakistani military operation in Shawal. The militants also seized advanced weaponry, including night vision gear and a rocket launcher.
This development comes as India intensifies strikes under Operation Sindoor in response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Indian forces remain on high alert, with heightened military preparedness across border states.
With rising tensions on multiple fronts, geopolitical analysts warn that both internal and cross-border conflicts may further escalate in the coming days.
