My question is that why all of sudden there is so much trouble on Afghan border?

I read somewhere that Taliban are saying they have shifted their strategy to bigger attacks. Aim is to demoralize Pakistan army ranks and create divisions.

Deputy TTP leader Fakir Mohammed said the group with close ties to al Qaeda had changed strategy and would now focus on large-scale attacks only on state targets like the one in Dir.

“Our new strategy of launching big attacks on military installations was aimed at causing demoralization in the ranks of the security forces and tiring of the government,” he told Pakistan’s The News newspaper from what he said was a location somewhere in Afghanistan.
