ISLAMABAD In May 2025, there was a little increase in terrorist attacks in Pakistan, despite the fact that increased military tensions with neighboring India did not lead to a notable increase in extremist violence.
Although attacks have increased by 5% since April, according to data supplied by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), based in Islamabad, the overall picture reveals that militant organizations have mostly remained confined despite the geopolitical situation in the region.
The PICSS monthly security assessment states that there were 85 militant attacks in May, a little increase from 81 in April.
