In July 2026 the Pakistani military released detailed counter‑terrorism statistics.

Security forces eliminated 2,084 alleged terrorists, averaging ten kills per day – the highest rate recorded.

The bulk of the violence was concentrated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (1,971 incidents) and Balochistan (1,148 incidents).
