NEW DELHI: For the Pakistan army, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) is fast becoming uncharted territory. Although it has entered into a delicate truce with the Afghan Taliban, the army is battling on several other fronts, such as K-P and Balochistan.

The internal strife within the country has also heavily stressed the security mechanism.

In K-P, it appears to be a complete takeover by Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP). The TTP is following the exact strategy that the Taliban had adopted before the 2021 pullout by the US forces.
