Pakistan Taliban has called off an indefinite ceasefire agreed with the government in June and ordered its militants to carry out attacks across the country.
In a statement issued on Monday, TTP said that the decision to end the truce was taken after a series of non-stop attacks were launched by the military organisations in some areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

The statement was issued a day after the English cricket team landed in Pakistan after 17 years to play the first test-series, and day before the new army chief was set to assume his office.
The TTP announced a ceasefire with the government in June but the attacks on the security forces never stopped. The group never claimed responsibility and instead blamed splinter groups for those attacks.
