Three soldiers lost their lives when their vehicle was ambushed near Ali Zai in Kurram district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where they had been deployed for the security of a Chehlum (Shia observance) procession in Parachinar. Sources said the attackers used rocket-propelled grenades, and the soldiers’ weapons were missing after the incident.
Kurram district has long been a hotspot of sectarian violence between Sunni and Shia communities. After months of unrest, a fragile peace had recently been achieved through extensive reconciliation efforts. However, tensions have flared once again.
A few days ago, a Shia resident of Parachinar in Kurram was mysteriously killed in Bushehra, a Sunni-majority area. On Monday, another man, identified as Qadar Gul from Bushehra village, was shot dead in the same locality. Sunni residents accused Tehran Turi — a Shia militant commander associated with the Liwa Zainebiyoun — of involvement, calling for retaliation. Shia community members, however, denied the allegations, insisting the killing was linked to a personal feud.
So far, the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) linked channels has remained silent on the attack targeting security forces.

-🇦🇫/🏴: ALERT Several Taliban-affiliated channels reported that ISKP leader Musa, along with two of his companions, was killed today in Darah Noor, Nangarhar
-🇦🇫/🏴: PakPluse Intel highlights that Musa, a former Taliban commander, is currently leading the ISIS-Khorasan group in Dara Noor district in North of Nangarhar Province. Originally from Shemel village in the district, Musa has become a key figure in ISIS operations in the area.
He was reportedly responsible for a bombing in August 2024 that targeted a Taliban ranger vehicle in Dara Noor. The attack killed six students of a religious seminary and injured one other student along with four members of the group, according to the Taliban.
During the republican period, Musa initially joined the Taliban and carried out multiple attacks in Dara Noor before surrendering to the government. Sources indicate that he joined ISIS-Khorasan prior to the Taliban’s rise to power following the fall of the republican system. Musa also has experience in the group’s intelligence wing.
Musa’s brother, Amir Mohammad Darah Nori, previously served as a member of the Nangarhar Provincial Council and was a local tribal leader. Despite Taliban claims on February 4, 2023, that Musa and three ISIS members had been killed during an operation, local sources maintain that he is alive and currently leading ISIS in the district. Now, reports of his death have resurfaced.
Confirmation of Musa’s recent killing from official sources is still pending.

A statement is circulating on channels affiliated with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claiming that the group is active throughout Khyber. The statement warned residents of Marikhel against alleged spying or supporting government officials, citing severe consequences.
It should be noted that TTP’s targeted killings of civilians accused of spying remain a significant concern in Khyber district. During the most recent jirga between Qamar Khel and TTP representatives, this issue was highlighted as a major point of concern. There have also been internal disagreements within TTP—particularly between Jammat-ul-Ahrar and the main TTP faction—over the practice of targeting civilians. Last month, Jammat-ul-Ahrar, through its official media wing Ghazi Media, issued a statement cautioning individuals involved in targeted killings and highlighting potential repercussions.

Last night in the Tall area of North Waziristan, security forces came under attack by TTP. During the ensuing exchange of fire, two militants were killed, while three security personnel were martyred.
It is worth noting that since yesterday, TTP has carried out over 20 attacks on security forces and police across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Meanwhile, in Balochistan, the BLA attempted up to atleast 10 attacks. These coordinated assaults appear to be part of their annual offensive around August 14, motivated by their anti-state agenda.

-CORRECTION:
A leading ISPR-linked account reporting on WhatsApp and Facebook claimed an attack in the Tall area of North Waziristan, so I reported it as well. However, after checking local sources, it seems no such attack took place in the area.
Two rockets attacks did occur, but both missed their targets:
1. Razmak Camp – 2 rockets fired from NLL
2. Dossali Fort – 2 rockets fired from NLL
It appears the admin may have mistaken yesterday’s Kurram attack for one in Waziristan.
