Pakistan witnessed a significant 35% decline in combat-related fatalities in March during Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, as reported by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies.

Pakistan observed a substantial decrease in combat-related fatalities by 35% in March, attributed to the ongoing Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, according to a report by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).
The report highlighted a decline in high-profile militant attacks, although the total number of attacks increased. Notably, during March, 331 fatalities were recorded, contrasting with the 506 deaths reported in February, marking a significant improvement.
The reduction in casualties coincides with Pakistan's cross-border military actions targeting alleged terrorist strongholds in Afghanistan. This proactive stance has disrupted militant capacities, as shown by the reduced lethality of attacks. Nonetheless, militant groups like the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan have announced an escalation in operations against the state.
