On Monday, Pakistan's army announced the killing of seven individuals during clashes in Baluchistan province near the border with Afghanistan.

According to their statement, these individuals participated in "terrorist activities" against security forces and civilians.

However, it is unclear which group these individuals had been affiliated with.

Pakistan army says that it has seized weapons, ammunition, and explosives from the terrorists.

Following the takeover of power by the Taliban in August 2021, Pakistan has witnessed an unprecedented surge of violence in the country.

In the first week of 2024, the Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies reported a 17 percent rise in armed attacks in Pakistan in 2023.

The institute said that 78 percent of the attacks were carried out by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), ISIS, and Baloch separatists.
