2008 Indo-Pakistani standoff
The 2008 Indo-Pakistani standoff refers to a period of heightened military tension between India and Pakistan that occurred following the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, which were attributed to the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 166 individuals and prompted widespread condemnation in India and internationally. In response, India accused Pakistan of harboring terrorists and mobilized its armed forces along the border. Diplomatic relations soured, and both nations engaged in military posturing, raising fears of a potential conflict. The standoff highlighted longstanding issues, including cross-border terrorism and historical grievances, but ultimately de-escalated through international diplomatic efforts, leading to a return to dialogue.
