A report in South China Morning Post (SCMP) suggests that Pakistan is likely to launch a major ground as well as air offensive targeting the hideouts of Pakistan Taliban militants in Afghanistan, risking a schism in ties with the neighbouring country.
Pakistan has witnessed a sharp rise in terrorism incidents, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces as well as the border areas of the two nations, during the past couple of months after the TTP announced to end ceasefire with Pakistan.
