Pakistan surrenders and accepts dead body of soldiers killed

The Kargil War, also known as the Kargil conflict, was an armed conflict between India and Pakistan that took place between May and July 1999 in the Kargil district of KashmirLine of Control. The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants across the Line of Control, which serves as the de facto border between the two states.

With international diplomatic support, the Pakistani forces were forced to withdraw from Indian positions along the LOC. and elsewhere along the into positions on the Indian side of the (LOC),

The war is one of the most recent examples of high altitude warfare in mountainous terrain, which posed significant logistical problems for the combating sides. This was only the second direct ground war between any two countries after they had developed nuclear weapons, after the Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969; it is also the most recent. (India and Pakistan both test-detonated fission devices in May 1998, though the first Indian nuclear test was conducted in 1974.) The conflict led to heightened tension between the two nations and increased defence spending by India.
