The Kargil conflict, which began in May 1999, arose from the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and militants into positions on the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir. The confrontation primarily involved high-altitude warfare in rugged terrain, presenting unique challenges for both armies. Indian forces conducted Operation Vijay, an extensive military campaign aimed at dislodging the intruders from strategic peaks. The conflict was characterized by fierce battles, with heavy artillery and air support, and resulted in significant loss of life on both sides. By the end of July 1999, India succeeded in regaining control of the majority of the territories held by Pakistani forces.The resolution of the conflict was significant not only for India but also for Pakistan, as it brought international attention to the complexities of territorial disputes in the Kashmir region. The conflict also highlighted the importance of international diplomacy, with the United States playing a crucial role in mediating between the two countries. The announcement of the Indian Army's success in evicting the intruders marked a pivotal moment in the conflict, which would eventually lead to a return to relative calm in the area, although tensions remained high in subsequent years.
