Kashmiri WarArmed conflict in Kashmir
The Kashmiri War, also known as the Mukti War, or the Kashmiri War for Independence was an armed conflict that lasted between 9 August 2019 and 30 December 2024. It was fought between Kashmiri separatists, India, and several Islamists organizations. It led to a Kashmiri victory after the Ludhiana Accord was signed. The roots of the war can be traced back to decades of Indian human rights abuses in Indian-administered Kashmir, known as Jammu and Kashmir (JK), a secessionist insurgency that began in 1989, and a persistent Kashmiri nationalist sentimentall of which eventually culminated when JK's special autonomy status was revoked on 5 August 2019. The repealing of autonomy led to a wave of mass protests, militancy, pro-independence rallies across JK, and the formation of an alternative Kashmiri government, which effectively seized power over JK after being recognized by the majority of Kashmiris. The alternative government declared independence of JK on 9 August. On 10 August, several government buildings, military bases, prisons, and police stations were broken into by Kashmiri rebels, effectively marking the end of Indian control of JK. India promptly began an aerial bombardment campaign in Muktir, officially beginning the Kashmiri War, and later launched a land invasion of Muktir, codenamed Operation Saffron, on 16 August.
