Here’s a blog capturing the latest on Pulwama-like attacks unfolding in Pakistan, as security forces grapple with rising TTP terrorism:
Pulwama-like Attack in Pakistan? Security Forces Say TTP Terrorists Are Behind Wave of Suicide Blasts
The specter of Pulwama—a devastating suicide bomb attack—haunts South Asian security corridors once again. But this time, the threat is not in India, but inside Pakistan. Recent intelligence and military reports confirm that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has launched a series of Pulwama-style vehicle-borne suicide bombings targeting Pakistani security forces in volatile regions like North Waziristan and Balochistan.arabnews+2
Wave of High-Impact Attacks: TTP’s Tactical Shift
In October 2025, security forces in Pakistan averted a major terror catastrophe. Acting on credible intelligence, Special Forces intercepted a TTP cell that was preparing a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) for a massive suicide operation near Mir Ali, North Waziristan—a tactic remarkably similar to the Pulwama attack of 2019.indianexpress+2
Just days earlier, seven Pakistani soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing when a car packed with explosives slammed into a military compound near the Afghan border. The blast was so powerful it triggered a gunfight, left multiple homes damaged, and thick smoke billowing over the district.firstpost
Escalating Crisis Along Afghan Border
Security analysts say the intimidation campaign marks a dramatic tactical shift for the TTP. Instead of small-scale ambushes, they now favor vehicle-borne suicide bombers to inflict maximum casualties, rattling Pakistan’s military and law enforcement. Most attacks have struck Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, placing Pakistani troops on high alert and exposing vulnerabilities in counterterrorism strategies.news18youtube
Counter-Offensive: Security Forces Act
Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed that during one operation, troops tracked down and neutralized three TTP militants and destroyed their bomb-laden vehicle before it could be deployed. Sweeping “sanitization operations” in the region continue, targeting additional cells and rooting out sleeper networks.arabnews+1
Regional Impact and Blame Game
With the TTP’s campaign escalating, Pakistan’s government and military have blamed “foreign-backed” and “India-sponsored” elements—a claim India sternly denies. Nevertheless, the intensification of suicide attacks has fueled diplomatic tensions and raised the prospect of cross-border security cooperation—or confrontation.arabnews
Conclusion
As Pakistan battles a surge in Pulwama-like suicide attacks by TTP terrorists, the region teeters on the edge of a humanitarian and security crisis. The shadow of the Afghan Taliban, the persistent militancy of the TTP, and Pakistan’s countermeasures point to a volatile future. For ordinary citizens and brave soldiers alike, every intercepted bomb and every thwarted attack is a hard-won reprieve in an increasingly unpredictable conflict.
New Delhi: Pakistani security forces killed three terrorists allegedly involved in a suicide attack plot in the North Waziristan district of northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. A statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Saturday, October 25, said that security forces, in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in the Jhallar area of the district, "foiled a major terrorist incident and averted a potentially devastating attack."Credible intelligence about presence of terrorists
The operation was based on credible intelligence about the presence of terrorists belonging to the "Fitna al-Khawarij" group. These terrorists were preparing to carry out a suicide attack using a vehicle-mounted bomb for a major terrorist activity. The term "Fitna al-Khawarij" is used by the Pakistani government to refer to terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The statement said that the troops effectively engaged the terrorists at their hideout, destroyed a vehicle being prepared for a suicide attack, and killed three terrorists in the encounter. The ISPR said that a search operation is underway in the area to eliminate any other terrorists present.
Pakistan and Afghanistan tensions are at their peak
It should be noted that tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are currently at their peak regarding the TTP. Pakistan alleges that Afghanistan harbours the TTP and supports terrorism in Pakistan. Afghanistan has completely rejected Pakistan's allegations. During talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Turkey, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif even threatened to launch an open war. It is worth noting that the two countries had previously held talks in Doha, where a ceasefire was declared.
