Indo-Pakistani War of 1965

The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 was a military conflict between India and Pakistan, primarily over the disputed Kashmir region. It began in April 1965 when Pakistan launched Operation Gibraltar, aiming to infiltrate forces into Jammu and Kashmir to incite rebellion against Indian rule. India responded with a full-scale military operation, leading to widespread battles across the border. The war lasted until September 1965, ending with a ceasefire brokered by the Soviet Union. The conflict highlighted ongoing tensions between the two countries and resulted in significant military and civilian casualties, but it did not lead to any change in territorial control.
