TTP’s September 2025 Activity Report
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has released its self-published monthly report for September 2025. According to the group’s own claims, it carried out 359 attacks during the month. This marks a 35.5% decrease compared to August 2025, when the group had claimed 556 attacks. The August spike, as per the group’s narrative, was linked to directives from its leadership in mid-August to intensify operations.
In September, the group claimed attacks across five provinces: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Geographic Distribution of Claimed Attacks
The most affected province remained KP, which has long been TTP’s stronghold. Within KP, the breakdown is as follows:
-South Waziristan (95 attacks): Historically a key hub for the group.
-Bajaur (66): High figures possibly tied to ongoing counter-insurgency operations there.
-North Waziristan (55): Another traditional base of TTP activity.
Dera Ismail Khan (24), Khyber (19), Tank (18), Chitral (14), Bannu (12), Lakki Marwat (12), Kurram (9), Orakzai (8), Peshawar (6), Mohmand (6), Kohat (3), Swat (2), Dir Lower (2), Swabi (1), Karak (1).
Two trends stand out:
Peshawar Spike: The group reported six attacks in the provincial capital district — up from four in August, a 50% increase. While small in absolute numbers, activity near the provincial capital raises security concerns.
Chitral Anomaly: The group claimed 14 attacks in Chitral — surprisingly higher than in Bannu, Lakki Marwat, or Kurram. This is notable because Chitral was historically quiet: between Jan 2022 and May 2025 (41 months), TTP claimed only 42 attacks there. In June 2025 alone, it claimed 72. The group may be trying to project influence in this mountainous border region, which is strategically important due to its proximity to Afghan provinces (Kunar, Nuristan, Badakhshan) and its links to Swat and Upper Dir. However, Pakistani media and independent observers have not verified most of these claims, suggesting TTP may be inflating numbers to create a perception of strength.
Outside KP:
-Karachi: 2 claimed attacks (down from 4 in August).
-South Punjab: 2 claimed (up from 1 in August).
-Gilgit-Baltistan: 1 claimed in both August and September; in September, TTP also issued a message directed at locals.
-Makran (Balochistan): 1 claimed in both months.
Again, independent verification of most of these incidents is lacking, but the claims still provide a sense of where the group wants to signal operational reach.
Most of the claimed operations were reported as sniper/“laser” attacks (125), likely overstated to project sophistication. Traditional insurgent tactics such as ambushes (53), guerrilla raids (50), and IED blasts (37) also featured prominently, reflecting low-cost, repeatable methods. Less common were targeted attacks (31), while retaliatory strikes (19) and 'missile' attacks (11) were rare. Overall, the self-published data suggests TTP leans on small-scale, low-intensity tactics.
The group even mentioned seizing livestock (130 cows) in the report, which underscores how these reports mix propaganda with opportunistic looting framed as “military gains.”

-⚡🇵🇰/🇧🇩/🏴/🏳️: MONITORING
Bangladeshi media outlets have confirmed the identity of a Bangladeshi man killed in a counter-terrorism operation in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The slain militant, whose nom de guerre was Saifullah Saad, was identified as Faisal Hossain (22), a resident of Madaripur.
The youngest of three siblings, Faisal grew up in Dhaka’s Bashundhara area and completed his Secondary School Certificate (SSC) in 2020. To support his struggling family, he worked briefly in a library, sold Islamic prayer items outside mosques, and later found short-term employment in a pharmacy.
Faisal’s journey into militancy began in March 2024, when he abruptly left his family home in Dhaka, claiming he was bound for Dubai to work at a Hijama (cupping therapy) center. Days later, he phoned his relatives, saying he had first crossed into India, explaining that the route was less costly. Shortly afterward, he reported reaching Dubai.
But as months passed, his communication became sporadic. Family members recalled that Faisal dodged questions about his travel arrangements, only saying that an unnamed “brother” had sponsored his journey in return for monthly repayments.
For more than a year, Faisal’s relatives believed he was working in Dubai. That belief was shattered in mid-2025 when officers from Bangladesh’s police and Detective Branch visited the family in Madaripur. The officials revealed that Faisal was in fact in Pakistan.
The disclosure stunned the family. They pleaded with him to return, even offering financial assistance, but Faisal reportedly refused, saying that too much money had already been invested in him.
On September 26, 2025, Faisal’s trajectory ended violently. When Pakistani security forces launched a raid in the Karak district, killing 17 members of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Faisal was among the dead. During the operation in Karak, Pakistani forces recovered his ID card, documents, and money, which helped confirm his identity. Images of the deceased militants circulated in Pakistani media and were later recognized by his family in Bangladesh.
Faisal’s relatives have urged the Bangladeshi government to facilitate the repatriation of his body so he can be buried in his homeland. They also demanded justice against those who lured him into militancy, warning that more vulnerable youth could face the same fate.
