1965 Indo-Pak War

The 1965 Indo-Pak War was a brief conflict between India and Pakistan, primarily over the Kashmir region. Tensions escalated when Pakistan launched a military operation into Indian-controlled Kashmir, claiming to support local rebels. India responded swiftly, pushing back Pakistani forces and regaining territory. The war lasted about a month, ending with a United Nations-brokered ceasefire and territorial status quo maintained. It highlighted the ongoing hostility over Kashmir, a region both countries claim, and underscored the fragile peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
