Islamabad: Terror attacks in Pakistan have surged once again following a brief lull in March, as the country experienced 77 verifiable attacks in April, according to a security assessment report by the Islamabad-based think tank Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS). Unsurprisingly, the restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bore the brunt of the attacks last month.
The terror attacks in Pakistan resulted in 70 casualties – 35 civilians and 31 members of the security forces. Four militants were killed while 67 individuals – including 32 civilians and 35 security personnel – were injured in these attacks, Dawn reported citing the PICSS report. In comparison, March saw 56 terror attacks that resulted in 77 deaths and 67 injuries.
