The Kargil War was a 1999 armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir. The war began on 3 May 1999, when Pakistani soldiers infiltrated Indian-occupied territory along the Line of Control (LoC) and captured several strategic mountain heights. The Indian Army launched a counter-offensive on 26 May, and the war lasted for 60 days until 26 July 1999, when the Indian Army declared victory.

The Kargil War was a major victory for India, and it resulted in the deaths of over 500 Indian soldiers. The war also had a significant impact on the relationship between India and Pakistan. The two countries have since held several rounds of talks, but the issue of Kashmir remains unresolved.
