India and Pakistan have not been officially at war recently, but tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations have remained high due to ongoing territorial disputes, particularly over the Kashmir region.
In February 2019, the two countries were involved in a serious escalation after a suicide bombing by a Pakistan-based militant group in India-administered Kashmir killed over 40 Indian paramilitary soldiers. India responded with airstrikes on what it claimed was a militant camp in Pakistan. The situation briefly escalated into air battles between the two countries, but it did not lead to a full-scale war.
Since then, skirmishes and military standoffs continue, especially along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir. However, both nations have engaged in diplomatic efforts and international pressure to avoid a broader conflict. Despite these tensions, a formal declaration of war has not occurred.
The Kashmir dispute remains a key source of conflict between India and Pakistan, which both claim the region in full but control different parts. Peace efforts continue sporadically, though the situation remains fragile.
