2001–2002 India–Pakistan standoff
The 2001–2002 India–Pakistan standoff was a significant military confrontation between India and Pakistan, primarily rooted in the longstanding territorial dispute over Kashmir. The crisis was ignited by a December 13, 2001, terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament, which India attributed to Pakistan-based militant groups. In response, India mobilized its armed forces along the border, raising fears of a potential war. The standoff lasted until mid-2002, involving extensive military deployments and heightened diplomatic tensions. International efforts, particularly from the United States, sought to de-escalate the situation. The standoff marked a critical period in India-Pakistan relations, underscoring the volatility and complexities of regional security dynamics.
