There were 74 attacks that caused 91 deaths, including 35 security officers, 20 civilians, and 36 terrorists. Another 117 people were hurt, including 53 security officers, 54 civilians, and 10 terrorists.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was the worst-hit area, followed by Balochistan. In the settled areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there were 27 attacks, which caused 19 deaths. Among them were 11 security officers, six civilians, and two terrorists.

In the tribal areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly FATA), there were 19 attacks, resulting in 46 deaths. This included 13 security officers, eight civilians, and 25 terrorists.

The army said it will keep fighting against terrorism and will not let the sacrifices of brave officers like Captain Hasnain Akhtar go in vain.
