The booklet details Pakistan’s counter-terrorism efforts and shows how it has forced terrorists to escape to their hideouts or flee across the border to Afghanistan. A similar report by the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War places the number at 48,504 deaths Pakistan suffered while fighting militants between 2003 and 2015. She also notes that Pakistan’s losses remain underreported, showing how the estimates of losses in drone attacks range from a low of 158 civilian deaths to a high of 2,657. She also endorses another Pakistani claim that “increased intensity of the fighting in Afghanistan could have a spillover effect in Pakistan”. The embassy also seems to focus more on projecting its efforts in the Pakistani media.
