PAKISTANI security forces in 2024 suffered the highest casualties in nearly a decade while battling insurgency, an Islamabad-based think tank said today.

This comes as militants attacked a security post in the country’s restive north-west, which borders Afghanistan, killing a police officer and a civilian early today.

An officer was also wounded in the attack at the Draban Post in Dera Ismail Khan, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, local police official Abdullah Khan said.
