Kargil

The Kargil War was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place in the Kargil district of Kashmir and elsewhere along the Line of Control (LOC) in May and June 1999.

The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani militants and Pakistani Army regulars into Indian-controlled Kashmir, in an attempt to foment insurgency in the region. The Indian Army, supported by the Indian Air Force, regained control of all the previously occupied territory by the end of July 1999.

The war is one of the most recent examples of high-altitude warfare in mountainous terrain, which posed significant logistical problems for the combatants. It is also one of the very few instances of direct, conventional warfare between nuclear-armed states.

The Kargil War is also notable for being the first war in which the media played a significant role in shaping public opinion.
