The Taliban are at war with their governments.
They are reconstituting their numbers. This prison breach is not about humanitarian relief for prisoners. This is about building strength in numbers.
Taliban storms Pakistani jail, frees 390 prisoners (click title to entry - thank you)

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Pakistani Taliban militants stormed a prison in northwest Pakistan early Sunday and freed 390 prisoners, including 20 militants, local officials said.
The attack occurred at about 2:30 a.m. at a prison in Bannu, a town considered the gateway to North Waziristan, a tribal region along the Afghan border that has long been a stronghold for Taliban insurgents and several other militant groups. Local police officials said as many as 200 Taliban militants drove up in pickups, lobbing hand grenades to break through the jail’s main gate.
Once inside, a two-hour firefight broke out between the attackers and roughly 30 jail guards. The militants began freeing prisoners after the guards ran out of ammunition, officials said. No one was seriously injured or killed in the attack....
The Taliban will never out number the amount of military a government has, but, they will seek to undermine infrastructure. They are able to make attacks with tanks and overwhelming military strength, but, they will seek to destroy infrastructure in hopes an accumulation of destruction will be 'enough' to destabilize the people and therefore their government.
It can work. If there enough demoralization of the people and their infrastructure there can be a tipping point, especially with poverty. By this attack on the prison they are well armed with small arms and explosives. The donkey militia still has its strength within its impoverished populous. Poverty is enforced with the people because it works.
Poverty creates stress and instability. Its chronic effects are known on human health and it has strong emotional impact, so it doesn't take much 'more stress' to cause a change in alliance to a government/authority. The strength of poverty within Pakistan and Afghanistan translates well with misused and misdirected Islamic dogma. The people of Pakistan and Afghanistan have their own faith used against them. That misdirection is enforced with the threat of death. There is no benevolence. There is no hope, there is simply oppression.

Twin tornadoes. There are five confirmed dead and 29 injured. More possible. (click title to entry - thank you)
Terrestrial heat and water vapor.
Water vapor is climate.
Where there is 'enough' of it there will be turbulence.
Water vapor changes 'state' in a very short temperature range. By 'state' I mean it goes from solid to liquid to vapor/gas within 100 degree celcius. Water vapor is life and it delivers rain. Under a normal troposphere the occurrences of water vapor is a benevolent entity. Now, it is mostly absent from climate. When it accumulates 'enough' to 'carry' heat there is danger. Storms are mostly dangerous these days. It is the condition of Earth. It is its physics. It is a dangerous climate.
There was a report of nearly 77 or more tornadoes in this system. That is becoming the norm more than not. This is a climate crisis.

The highest turbulence is over the drier areas because parched land stores heat. There is no rain or overland flow to cool it. Tornadoes don't decrease parched land. They simply manifest due to high heat and 'enough' water vapor. They achieve no purpose to make the land more benevolent, they manifest as a 'high heat storm.'
