Pakistan Taliban ends ceasefire, orders strikes across country

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.
