1958 East Pakistan–India border skirmish

The 1958 East Pakistan–India border skirmish refers to a series of military confrontations that occurred along the border between East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and India between September and October 1958. Triggered by territorial disputes and cross-border tensions, the skirmish involved sporadic incidents of gunfire and clashes between border patrols from both nations. The conflict highlighted the lingering animosities following the Partition of India in 1947 and the subsequent demarcation of borders. Diplomacy efforts were undertaken to de-escalate tensions, culminating in a ceasefire and a mutual agreement to resolve disputes through dialogue. The incident served as a precursor to future border conflicts between the two countries.
