Kargil War

The Kargil War (1999) was a conflict between India and Pakistan in the Kargil region of Kashmir. Pakistani soldiers and militants intruded into Indian-controlled territory, occupying high-altitude mountain positions. India responded with a military campaign to reclaim the positions, facing tough terrain and harsh weather. The war lasted about two months and ended with India successfully regaining the territory, asserting its control. The conflict highlighted tensions over Kashmir, a region both countries claim, and reinforced India's military readiness. It also led to international pressure on Pakistan to withdraw, emphasizing the importance of peaceful resolution in regional disputes.
