The Pakistani Army has officially acknowledged its direct involvement in the 1999 Kargil War with India for the first time in 25 years. This admission was made by Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir during Defence Day celebrations, where he accepted Rawalpindi's role in the conflict. Previously, only former officials like Musharraf and Nawaz had accepted Pakistan's role. The acknowledgment marks a significant shift in the military's stance, as it had previously attributed the conflict to 'Mujahideens'. General Munir also paid tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives during the war.
