The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 was a conflict between India and Pakistan that lasted from August to September 1965. The war primarily stemmed from territorial disputes over the region of Kashmir, which both countries claimed. Tensions escalated when Pakistan launched Operation Gibraltar, aiming to infiltrate forces into Jammu and Kashmir to incite rebellion against Indian rule. In response, India launched a full-scale military operation, leading to battles on both the western and eastern fronts. The war ended with a ceasefire brokered by the Soviet Union through the Tashkent Agreement in January 1966, restoring the status quo but leaving the underlying issues unresolved.
