2014–2015 India–Pakistan border skirmishes
The 2014–2015 India-Pakistan border skirmishes refer to a series of military confrontations and exchanges of fire between Indian and Pakistani armed forces along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Boundary in Jammu and Kashmir. Following a period of relative calm, violence escalated in October 2014, marked by increased artillery fire and cross-border incursions, leading to civilian casualties and displacement in border regions. Notable incidents included ambushes, infiltration attempts, and retaliatory strikes, exacerbating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Diplomatic talks aimed at de-escalation were hindered, resulting in a cycle of hostilities that persisted into early 2015, reflecting underlying disputes over territorial claims and the rise of militant activities.
