According to Pakistani Government sources, between 7,000 and 10,000 terrorists are working for Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Pakistan’s defence bases were attacked 148 times by this terrorist organisation in 2022. TTP has gained strength in Pakistan due to the success of the Taliban Government in Afghanistan.

According to other sources, other terrorist organisations in Pakistan have also joined hands with TTP.
