Since the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) broke its ceasefire with the government in November, Pakistan has been plagued by a wave of terrorism, mostly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
A research claims that January 2023 was the worst month since 2018, when 134 people died (a 139% increase) and 254 were wounded in at least 44 extremist strikes across the nation.
The massacre occurred only days after the military launched a fresh operation against terrorists in response to a recent uptick in strikes, including the bombing of a mosque in Peshawar in February, which left over 100 people dead.
