2001–02 India–Pakistan standoff
The 2001–02 India–Pakistan standoff was a military confrontation between India and Pakistan that escalated following a terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament in December 2001. This incident, attributed to Pakistan-based militant groups, prompted India to amass troops along its borders, leading to heightened tensions and fears of a potential war. The standoff lasted for several months, marked by a significant military buildup and diplomatic strain. International intervention, particularly from the United States, aimed to de-escalate the situation. The crisis ultimately subsided in June 2002, largely due to diplomatic negotiations, but it left a lasting impact on Indo-Pakistani relations, contributing to ongoing tensions in the Kashmir region.
