India-Pakistan boundary
The India-Pakistan boundary, known as the Line of Control (LoC), divides the regions of Jammu and Kashmir between the two countries. It originated from the partition of British India in 1947, when India and Pakistan became separate nations. The boundary is not a formal international border but a military ceasefire line, with frequent tensions and conflicts along it. The LoC runs roughly from north to south, creating a complex and sensitive frontier, especially in areas like Kashmir, with both nations maintaining military presence and control. The boundary's status remains a significant point in the ongoing India-Pakistan dispute.
