The Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said August 1 that if the Afghan Interim Government failed to take action, Pakistan had an option under international law to act in "self-defence" against the militants hiding inside Kabul, reports Geo News. While speaking to the media, he, however, made it clear that this should not be the first option for his Government. "Regarding Pakistan going there [inside Afghanistan] and taking action against these terrorists, we do not want to be forced to do this, but according to international law, we have the right to self-defence," said FM Bilawal while addressing a ceremony at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "If we are repeatedly attacked like this, and there is no appropriate response, we will be forced to do this. But I don’t think it should be amongst the first options for us," he added. "Statistics show that if you look at our data 500 days before the fall of Kabul, and then compare it with our data 500 days later, you can see that there has been a clear increase," he said, adding that weapons left in Afghanistan by the US and NATO forces had fallen into the hands of militants. The Foreign Minister also reminded Kabul of the Doha Accord. According to the Doha Accord, the Taliban had assured in writing that militant groups would not be allowed inside Afghanistan and nor would any militant group attack another country from inside Afghanistan.

JAFHS is the ninth militant group to have been outlawed in the country, and eight others are Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), Ansar al-Islam, Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B), Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT), Allah’r Dal, and Shahadat-e al-Hikma.

The Balochistan Post quoting Baloch Liberation Army’s (BLA) statement claimed on August 13 that eleven SF personnel and four Chinese nationals were killed in the attack. In a short media statement, BLA ‘spokesman’ Jeeyand Baloch said that BLA’s Majeed Brigade was behind the attack. The group disclosed the names of the attackers, who were Naveed Baloch alias Aslam of Nigewar Dasht in Kech District and Maqbool Baloch alias Qaim of Awaran District. It also revealed the photos of the attackers on its official media channel, Hakkal. The BLA further announced the completion of the third phase of its “Operation Zir Pehazag” following the suicide attack. The BLA’s statement also conveyed a clear message to China, emphasizing their view of Balochistan as an “occupied territory” and voicing their opposition to Beijing’s projects, like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in the region. “We have cautioned China repeatedly to reconsider its activities in Balochistan,” the BLA statement read. BLA views such endeavours as acts of exploitation, stating that any foreign investments in the region should only proceed after Balochistan achieves independence. Ending on a firm note, the BLA has issued China a 90-day ultimatum to withdraw from Balochistan or prepare for intensified attacks on its “key interests” in the region.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on August 13 released an 11 minutes long video featuring group's commanders and fighters present in the outskirts of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), reports The Khorasan Dairy. In the video, Khalid Mansoor, a key TTP ‘commander’ and in-charge for the group finances for the so-called shadow province of Peshawar and Mardan, quoted latest TTP statement arguing that TTP priority is safeguarding the Afghan Interim government's stability, stating that the group operates from Pakistan. The video is a propaganda expedient aimed at countering Pakistan’s assessment that TTP is using Afghan soil for attacks across Pakistan. The statement alludes to the Afghan Taliban and the land of Afghanistan being used by TTP, trying to validate the Afghan Interim Government claim that TTP operates exclusively from within Pakistan. The entire video is structured in a way to prove the point of the Afghan Interim Government with establishing the group’s footprints in KP.

A violent mob of hundreds ransacked and torched five churches, attacked the residences of members of the Christian community and office of the local Assistant Commissioner, following an alleged incident of blasphemy in Jaranwala town of Faisalabad District in Punjab on August 16, reports Dawn. The violence erupted after some locals alleged that several desecrated pages of the Holy Quran had been found near a house at Cinema Chowk in Jaranwala, where two Christian brothers resided. Rumours of the alleged act spread like wildfire across Jaranwala after those who had levelled the allegations approached different mosques, from where announcements were made to incite people to show their “reaction” to the incident. The situation became more volatile when members of the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) entered the fray, making public announcements from mosques and other places, riling up people to reach the site of the alleged incident. Soon, a mob gathered outside the house of the two men – who had evacuated by then – and set it on fire, sparking a spate of violent incidents. Following this incident, people started gathering in Jaranwala town, turning into an enraged mob that allegedly attacked two churches — one Catholic and the other belonging to the Salvation Army. The mob also attacked and burnt a number of Christian homes in two nearby localities, near Chak 127-GB on the main City Road and near Chak 126-GB, Bridge Colony, along Shahrwana Canal – also known as Christian Colony.

Asserting that 99 per cent infiltration attempts from Pakistan on the border have been foiled in Jammu and Kashmir this year, Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh, on August 23, said the security agencies are fully alert and working to finish terrorism rather than just contain it, reports Daily Excelsior. DGP Singh said the border security grid is “much stronger than ever” with the addition of “new elements” to scuttle any attempt from Pakistan to push terrorists and smuggle arms and narcotics. “A number of encounters took place on the borders (in the recent past) which is a proof of the presence and alertness of our forces who are engaging them (infiltrators) at their place of choosing and neutralising them (before they manage to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir),” the DGP said. Security Forces (SFs) foiled several infiltrations attempts along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir and Poonch-Rajouri belt of Pir Panjal in the Jammu region in the recent past, killing nearly a dozen infiltrators and seizing huge consignments of arms, explosives and narcotics over the past two months. “Though the infiltration attempts are going on, we do not see an upward trend. Our border security grid is much stronger than before with the addition of new elements (to thwart infiltration attempts from Pakistan). We have already foiled 99 per cent of such attempts this year,” Dilbag Singh said, adding, “Our efforts are not only to contain terrorism but to finish it completely. Whenever an infiltration attempt is being made, whether we had prior information or not about it, our security arrangements are such that they (infiltrators) walk into our net.”

Security Forces (SFs) destroyed two camps of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), one of which spread over an area of two acres and was being used for training, along the border of Sukma and Dantewada Districts in Chhattisgarh during a two-day combing operation that concluded on August 23, reports The Print. SFs had received a tip-off about the presence of rebels belonging to the Kerlapal Area Committee under the Darbha Division of the Maoists, including leaders like Chaitu, Barse Deva, and Jagdish, in the hilly forests of Gogunda, Simel, and Gatta Pal villages, said Dantewada Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) R K Barman. A District Reserve Guard (DRG) team spotted a Maoist camp on a hill near Simel, and when the SFs were trying to encircle it, a gunfight broke out, Barman said. However, the Maoists soon fled from the spot, he said, adding that ammunition, substantial quantities of food materials, and items of daily use, along with Maoist literature, were seized from the camps. Another Maoist training camp was also found on a hill between Gatta Pal and Paria villages, and the DRG team neutralised it. "The camp was spread over an area of two acres and could accommodate 80–100 Naxals. During the search, live rounds of the AK-47 rifle, Maoist uniforms, bags, medicines, electric wires, solar panels, Maoist literature, and a huge quantity of ration materials and items of daily use were found," ASP Barman added.

The members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) voiced concerns about the presence and increased activity of the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (IS-KP) of Daesh in Afghanistan, reports Tolo News on August 26. Speaking at the Security Council meeting on the 17th report of the Secretary-General on the threat posed by Daesh, UN counter-terrorism chief Vladimir Voronkov said that the situation in Afghanistan is growing increasingly complex and that some 20 different terrorist groups are present in Afghanistan. "The situation in Afghanistan is growing increasingly complex, with fears of weapons and ammunition falling into the hands of terrorists now materializing." The in-country operational capabilities of Da’esh’s so-called Khorasan province, sanctioned as ISIL-K, have reportedly increased, with the group becoming more sophisticated in its attacks against the Taliban and international targets. Moreover, the presence and activity of some 20 different terrorist groups in the country, combined with the repressive measures put in place by the Taliban de facto authorities, the absence of sustainable development, and a dire humanitarian situation, pose significant challenges for the region and beyond," Voronkov noted. Also, the US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said in the meeting that Afghanistan must deny safe haven to terrorist groups, including al-Qaida and ISIS-Khorasan. "And I want to reiterate that capable law enforcement and broader security service responses are essential to preventing and countering terrorism and violent extremism. In South Asia, Afghanistan must deny safe haven to terrorist groups, including al-Qaida and ISIS-Khorasan, which continue to harbour ambitions to carry out attacks and have claimed deadly attacks in both Afghanistan and Pakistan," US Ambassador Linda said in the UN Security Council meeting. However, Bilal Karimi, spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, in response to the statements of the members of this council, said that Daesh is not present in Afghanistan. "We don't have a Daesh that has a physical presence, a fixed location, or concrete activities, and Daesh has been defeated in Afghanistan," Karimi noted. According to the statement, the Daesh groups in Iraq and Afghanistan have been assessed by member states as the most serious terrorist threat in Afghanistan and the region. "The report says that Daesh Khorasan has increased its operational capabilities inside Afghanistan, with the total number of fighters and family members associated with the group estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 people, a steady increase over the numbers reported in previous reports, while also becoming more sophisticated in its attacks against both the Taliban and international targets," the statement said.

A 31-year-old Pakistani doctor, Dr Muhammad Masood, living in the United States (US), was sentenced to 18 years in jail followed by five years of supervised release for attempting to provide material support to terrorist outfit Islamic State (IS), The Express Tribune reported on August 27. Dr Muhammad Masood, who worked at a research clinic in Rochester and arrested at an airport in March 2020, was convicted by a court in the state of Minnesota. Dr Masood pleaded guilty on August 16, 2022 to attempting to provide material support to IS. A US Justice Department press release read that Dr Masood made multiple statements about his desire to join Islamic State. He also pledged his allegiance to the terrorist outfit and its leader. The doctor expressed his desire to conduct “lone wolf” terrorist attacks in the US. Giving details, the press release stated that on February 21, 2020, Dr Masood bought a plane ticket from Chicago, Illinois, to Amman, Jordan, and from there planned to travel to Syria. On March 16, 2020, Dr Masood’s travel plans changed because Jordan closed its borders to incoming travel due to the coronavirus pandemic. Dr Masood then agreed to fly from Minneapolis to Los Angeles to meet up with an individual, who he believed would assist him with travel via cargo ship to deliver him to Islamic State territory. On March 19, 2020, Dr Masood travelled from Rochester to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to board a flight bound for Los Angeles, California. Upon arrival at the airport, Dr Masood checked in for his flight and was subsequently arrested.
