Pakistan’s Taliban said on Monday they have called off a shaky ceasefire agreed with the government in June and ordered fighters to stage attacks across the country.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a separate entity to the Taliban in Afghanistan but sharing a similar ideology, have been responsible for dozens of violent attacks and hundreds of deaths across Pakistan since emerging in 2007.

“As military operations are ongoing against mujahideen in different areas... so it is imperative for you to carry out attacks wherever you can in the entire country,” it said in a statement.
