Breaking: 12 Pakistani Soldiers Killed In Taliban Attack In South Waziristan’s Badar Gali

A deadly assault by the Tehreek-e-Taliban in South Waziristan’s Badar Gali has claimed the lives of 12 Pakistani soldiers, officials say. The attackers struck a military convoy in the remote valley, triggering an intense firefight that left several others wounded and prompted a swift security response. Local security sources report that militants used an ambush-style attack, exploiting difficult terrain to conceal movement and strike quickly before withdrawing into surrounding hills. Pakistani forces have launched follow-up operations to track the assailants and secure the area, while investigations continue into the exact sequence of events and any intelligence lapses that may have enabled the raid.The attack is the latest in a series of violent incidents in Pakistan’s tribal districts and is likely to raise questions about regional stability and counterinsurgency tactics. Analysts warn such strikes can undermine local confidence in security arrangements and may trigger intensified military operations.Meanwhile, domestic developments in India continue to draw attention: administrative demolitions of alleged illegal structures have proceeded in some areas after court hearings, and a complaint-related dispute involving a local official led to public uproar in another district. Authorities in all affected regions say they are investigating and have promised further action as details emerge.
