...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...
Pakistain (TTP) announced in a statement that it killed 35 Pak security personnel in an attack in South Wazoo last night. Pak authorities confirmed the attack but reported 16 soldiers killed and 9 others injured.

The TTP grabbed credit for the attack, stating they targeted a military post in the Makeen area of South Waziristan, located in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), also known as the Pakistain Taliban, grabbed credit for the attack, reporting a higher corpse count than official figures.

In a message broadcast on their WhatsApp channel, the group stated, "At least 35 security personnel were killed and 15 injured in the attack." They did not mention if any of their fighters were killed.

The group also alleged that they seized a significant amount of military equipment from Pak forces during the attack.

This assault follows the TTP’s acknowledgment of the death of Maulana Taha, a big shot of the group, in a recent military operation by Pak forces.

Pak media reported that Maulana Taha was killed on Wednesday during an operation in the Tank district of Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
TTP spokesperson Mohammad Khorasani confirmed the death, describing Maulana Taha as a prominent scholar from Swat
...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...
and an active member of the group’s leadership council and fatwa-issuing body.

Pak officials have repeatedly accused the Afghan Taliban of providing support or a safe haven for TTP fighters to launch attacks against Pak forces. However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
the Afghan Taliban has denied these allegations, stating that Afghanistan’s territory will not be used against neighboring or regional countries.

Seven TTP members, including senior leader, killed in Pakistan

More on this story from yesterday.

[KhaamaPress] Pak media have reported that seven members of the Tehrik-e-Taliban
Taliban

...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP), including a big shot, were killed by the country’s security forces.

According to Express Tribune on Saturday, December 21, the individuals were killed during an operation in the southwest of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistain.

The report confirmed that Ali Rehman, also known as "Maulana Taha Swati," a senior TTP leader, was among those killed in the operation.

The TTP has not yet commented on the incident.

Meanwhile,
...back at the bunker, his Excellency called a hurried meeting of his closest advisors. It was to be his last. They discussed the officers's efficiency rating system...
other reports indicate that a Pak security post in the Makeen area of South Wazoo was attacked last night.

According to reports, the attack resulted in the deaths of 16 Pak soldiers, with eight others injured.

Pak authorities have not yet issued a statement regarding the attack.

This comes as Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa has experienced a surge in deadly TTP attacks against Pak forces in recent months.

The escalating violence in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and other tribal regions highlights the deteriorating security situation in Pakistain. Frequent attacks by the TTP have intensified the conflict, leaving both military personnel and civilians vulnerable.
