US EditionWe Owe Eternal Debt to Our Martyrs: COAS
- In 2025, Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah, a 37-year-old Pakistani Army officer, was killed leading an anti-terror operation in South Waziristan against TTP militants.
- The operation occurred amid a surge in TTP violence following the collapse of a 2022 ceasefire and failed 2021 negotiations between the Pakistani government and militants.
- Established in 2007 and previously supported by elements within Pakistan, the TTP now poses a significant danger within the country, carrying out attacks against both civilians and military forces, and maintaining connections with groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed.
- Major Moiz stated that he had taken into custody Abhinandan Varthaman, an Indian Air Force officer, during the 2019 India-Pakistan military tensions, which involved India's airstrike response against Jaish-e-Mohammed camps.
- The deaths of Major Moiz and others underscore Pakistan's ongoing struggle to contain rising internal security threats posed by the increasingly volatile TTP insurgency.
