Five hardcore terrorists, all of them being active members of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), were executed in district jail Kohat on Wednesday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the militants, tried by military courts, admitted their crimes.
The military courts were set up through the 21st constitutional amendment after the 2014 Peshawar attack, which left over 150 people, mostly children, dead.
