War and Conflict Journal

Indian and Pakistani forces exchanged fire across their contested common border in the Kashmir region on July 26.  This is the second such military engagement in July.  A previous clash occurred on July 10, 2008. 

India and Pakistan have fought several wars in the past, and the Kashmir region is a major flashpoint for their ongoing conflict.  Relations have improved greatly since 2002, but recent terrorist attacks against Indian targets in Afghanistan (the Indian embassy) and in Indian cities in July, most likely by Militant Muslim terrorists, have increased the tensions.
