The problem of terror in Pakistan
In Pakistan, armed attacks are most often recorded in the provinces of Haibert Pakhtunhih and Belujistan, border provinces with Afghanistan.
In these regions there are armed groups that claim to protect the rights of ethnic Pashtuns and Beluja. However, in practice, they regularly attack both representatives of security forces and a civilian population.
