After eight days of rigorous negotiations encompassing seven rounds of dialogue between the local Bajaur jirga and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), discussions ended in a decisive deadlock. The final session, conducted on August 6, 2025, concluded without consensus, leading to the resumption of TTP attacks across Bajaur district and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with the group promptly claiming responsibility for three incidents. Ending in the state’s response of a targeted operation.
