The Center for Research and Security Studies in Pakistan has declared 2025 the deadliest year for the country in the last ten years.
The annual security report sheds light on the escalating violence that has gripped the nation.
However, the report noted a significant drop in terrorist attacks and casualties following the closure of border crossings with Afghanistan on October 11.
This correlation is likely to influence Islamabad’s future border management policies and its diplomatic tone with Kabul.
While security challenges remain acute, the data suggests that strict border control had a tangible impact on reducing violence.
The findings come amidst ongoing tensions and accusations regarding cross-border militancy.
