Pashtun militants fighting Pakistan's army, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), have warned they will now target Pakistan's major cities. They declared their next attacks will not be in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa towns but in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi. The militants said this is retaliation for the unlawful expulsion of their Afghan Pashtun brethren and insisted those responsible within Pakistan’s system must answer.

The warning comes as Pakistan’s military described cross-border strikes from Khyber as an act that provokes war.

He cautioned militants not to mistake the army for weak.
