- From April 22 to May 10, Pakistan and India engaged in their worst military conflict in decades along their nuclear-armed border.

- Both countries employed fighter jets, missiles, drones, and artillery and subsequently started drawing down troops to pre-conflict levels amid a ceasefire announcement.

- The conflict reinforced longstanding hostilities over Kashmir and water disputes, with Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir asserting that Pakistan will never accept Indian dominance or compromise on water rights.
