In one such incident, the TTP captured a village in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, forcing the local police and the Pakistan Army to flee their posts in the area.

The video, which was shared on Twitter by noted Pakistani journalist Amjad Ayub Mirza, has gone viral on social media platforms.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, around seven militants owing allegiance to the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) have been reportedly killed in an encounter with the security forces in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province of Pakistan.

According to local media reports, the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) militants were killed in a gun battle with a team from the counter terrorism department (CTD) in the North Waziristan region in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province of Pakistan.

The Kremlin reaffirmed that territorial issues, especially full control of Donbas, remain central to Russia’s stance in ending the Ukraine war.
