Pakistan has ranked first in the Global Terrorism Index 2026, recording the highest number of terror incidents and deaths since 2013. The report attributes the surge to increased activity by groups like TTP and BLA. Despite global declines in terrorism, regional instability has worsened the situation in Pakistan. Sub-Saharan Africa remains heavily affected overall.
India ranks 13th with over 100 fatalities reported. The report highlights the growing threat of extremist groups like ISIS and rising concerns of youth radicalisation. It underscores the need for stronger global cooperation to combat evolving terrorism challenges.
