In September 2025, Pakistan’s security forces successfully weakened militant activity, recording a 52% drop in attacks compared to August, with 69 incidents causing 135 deaths and 173 injuries. Despite this, the first three quarters of 2025 have seen nearly as much violence as all of 2024, signaling a potentially deadlier year ahead. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remained the most affected province, with intensified counterterrorism operations killing dozens of militants, while civilian and security casualties continued across tribal districts, Balochistan, and Sindh. Reports from the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) and the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) highlight that if trends persist, 2025 could become one of the deadliest years in a decade, with nearly 2,414 fatalities already recorded in three quarters.

The Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), in the sixth edition of its Urdu-language magazine Yalgaar, covered a wide array of topics. The publication opened with a account of its July 2025 Bajaur attack, in which five people—including an assistant commissioner and a tehsildar—were martyred, while 17 others sustained injuries.
The issue then delved into ISKP’s propaganda themes, directing sharp criticism toward the Pakistan Army Chief by accusing him of loyalty to Washington. It also denounced Abu Muhammad al-Jolani (Ahmed al-Sharaa), branding him a taghut for his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Other sections targeted Pakistan’s judicial system, Shia communities, and the Mastung bombing incident. Baloch nationalist groups were castigated as 'apostates', with their actions labeled as nawaqiz al-Islam.
One feature article, titled “Who Are the Real Mujahideen,” sought to contrast ISKP with Jolani’s faction and the Afghan Taliban, positioning ISKP as the true vanguard of thier so-called 'jihad'. The magazine also explored topics such as the Ghazwa-e-Hind narrative, the situation in Turkistan, and Pakistan–China relations.
Religious and ideological essays were interspersed throughout, discussing jihad, unbelievers, and theological obligations. A prominent article, “Watan Parasti o Qaum Parasti mein Aqeeday ki Ahmiyat ka Tasavvur” (“The Concept of the Importance of Creed in Nationalism and Patriotism”), reiterated ISKP’s rejection of patriotism and ethnic identity, once again condemning both the Pakistan Army and Baloch militant factions.
The pictorial section of the magazine featured images of prominent figures and movements, including Mahrang Baloch, Manzoor Pashteen, Bashir Zaib, as well as references to Lahore, Delhi, and Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir.

According to security sources, Abdul Razaq alias “Nako,” a senior field commander and key logistics conduit for the BLA, was eliminated in a precision operation along the Pakistan-Iran border during the night of October 1–2.
Razaq, long concealed in the border village of Pir, was regarded as a hardened militant leader who routinely maneuvered with a convoy of 20–25 armed fighters and retained a dedicated close-protection unit of 8–10 gunmen. He was recognized as an IED and landmine specialist, directly responsible for the production and supply of explosive materiel used in multiple sabotage operations across Balochistan.
Intelligence dossiers further identified him as the principal supplier of explosives to several BLA commanders, including Dil Jan alias “Lal” and Shahak alias “Hamal.”
During the decisive engagement, security forces executed a targeted strike on Razaq and his protective detachment, resulting in his neutralization.

In a statement issued by Tehrik‑e‑Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson Muhammad Khorasani, the group condemned the formation of Peace Committees in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, portraying them as a state initiative aimed at undermining Pashtun religious and cultural identity and facilitating the seizure of local land and resources. The communiqué adopted an ethnonationalist tone designed to win local support, explicitly addressing Taus Khel and Hati Khel of Domel in Bannu and communities in Swat. It warned that cooperation with such committees — and any division between the nation and millitans — would lead to “destruction.”
