This research, conducted by Pakistani conflict and security studies (Pics), said that the number of highest attacks in one month in 2021 was recorded in August when 45 attacks were carried out by militants.
The Institute said in his report said the total number of militant attacks could not go down despite a one-month ceasefire from November 10 to December 10, the Dawn newspaper reported.
Pakistani publications said that the average number of militant attacks per month in Pakistan rose from 16 to 2020 to 25 in 2021, the highest after 2017.
