TTP Blows Up Strategic Shewa Bridge in Waziristan, Disrupts Pakistan's Military Supply Lines

  • Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants blew up the Shewa Bridge in North Waziristan, a critical infrastructure for Pakistan's military.
  • The bridge was a vital supply route for security forces in tribal districts along the Durand Line, affecting troop movement, fuel, and ration supplies.
  • Its destruction isolated several forward military posts, forcing troops to use longer, more vulnerable alternative routes.
  • The attack signifies TTP's operational revival and ability to target high-value military infrastructure, posing challenges for Pakistan's security.
  • The incident complicates ongoing military operations and movement of forces in the Waziristan belt, with assessments underway for restoration.
