The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has released a video claiming responsibility for a recent attack on the Pakistani military in South Waziristan. According to the group’s media wing, the ambush took place in the Faqirsarai area of Badr district on September 13, 2025, targeting a large number of army personnel.

The TTP said the assault resulted in at least 40 Pakistani soldiers being killed or wounded.
