Read excerpt
A religious insurgency led by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or the “Pakistani Taliban,” has intensified its focus on Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province since 2021 (see Terrorism Monitor, May 1).

Read excerpt
Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) remnants remain active in Peru’s Valle de los Ríos Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro (VRAEM) zone, which has required the Peruvian army to maintain a security architecture in the region. On May 21, for example, the government extended the state of emergency for 60 days in 12 districts and eight population centers.
