The Dir districts, traditionally among the more peaceful areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), have experienced a notable increase in militant activity in recent months. Videos have surfaced showing members of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) moving openly in both Upper and Lower Dir.
TTP activity in Dir was first reported in March in recent times, when militants were seen visiting mosques in remote areas, delivering speeches, and attempting to recruit local residents. In April, they went underground following the killing of senior TTP commander Hafizullah in Lower Dir. However, the group re-emerged suddenly in August in both Upper and Lower Dir, with visuals confirming their presence in the region.
During August, the TTP claimed responsibility for at least 15 attacks across the Dir districts: 13 in Lower Dir (starting August 8) and two in Upper Dir (starting August 14). Most of these attacks targeted police personnel, and the August 14 attacks resulted in the deaths of five police officers across the two districts.
Throughout the month, the TTP multiple threats on atleast three occasions to local residents, community elders, and police, warning them against interfering with their activities.
Yesterday, clashes were reported in Dubando village of Upper Dir between security forces and militants. Following the confrontation, approximately 30 militants entered the Dubando Barikot mosque, instructing locals to pack their belongings and evacuate the area. Subsequent videos showed families fleeing the region.
Last night, Hafeez ur Rahman, an elderly forest guard, was killed in the Maidan area of Lower Dir. The TTP claimed responsibility for the killing, accusing him of acting as a spy.

Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has issued a statement alleging that Pakistani security forces have desecrated the bodies of TTP fighters, in some cases leaving them unburied or causing harm. The group instructed its local leaders to avoid mistreating the bodies of security personnel, to ensure they are buried in secure locations, and not to hand them over to the "enemy" under any circumstances until further notice.
The statement comes amid reports that the bodies of 50 militants killed in Zhob, Balochistan, remain at the site. Sources indicate that most of these fighters were Afghan nationals. Pakistani authorities have stated that the bodies will only be released if the Afghan government submits a formal request—a challenging prospect, as doing so would implicitly acknowledge Afghanistan’s involvement in terrorism within Pakistan.
In response to the situation, some Afghan Taliban have strongly criticized their government, with certain factions even boycotting "Afghanistan’s Independence" Day on 15 August. Reports also suggest that the Afghan authorities have detained some of these dissenting figures.

On 21/08/2025 at about 15:30 hours, within the jurisdiction of Police Station Dir at Barikot Dobando Jungle, following the eviction orders issued by the Taliban in the Dobando area of Upper Dir, several local families began the evacuation process. In response, the elders of the area formed a 40-member jirga committee to hold talks with the militants in order to address the situation and explore ways to restore peace. The jirga was attended by elders from eight villages across the valley, including:
- Jamroz Khan from Shandalba,
- Muhammad Syed from Barikot,
- Gul Zameen Thekedar from Dobando,
- Dilawar Jan from Pachajan and Sangar,
-Laiq Syed from Aterango,
- an unnamed elder from Muhammad Amin Kalay,
- Haji Zareen Khan from Nowe Kalay,
along with several other community notables.
During the proceedings, a delegation was sent to the jungle where they met a group of militants identified as Ajmal alias Safi son of Muhammad Zaman alias Khan, Naeem son of Jan Muhammad, and Sajid son of Sharif Khan, all residents of Barikot Dobando, along with approximately 25 to 26 other unidentified millitants. The militants informed the elders that until 26/08/2025 they would not carry out any action; however, if security forces initiated an operation against them, they would retaliate accordingly. They further conveyed that on 26/08/2025 they would announce their final decision, which could include either withdrawing from the area, engaging in armed conflict, or expecting the locals to accept their decision.
According to TTP-affiliated sources, a detailed statement will be released in the coming days. It is noteworthy that after similar developments in Khyber and Bajaur, this is the third instance where local communities are directly negotiating with the Taliban rather than state authorities.
