In May 1999 Pakistani forces disguised as terrorists infiltrated on the Indian side of the LOC and took over the Indian Army's winter vacated posts, as part of an operation, code-named "Operation Badr." The aim was to cut the link between Kashmir and Ladakh, to isolate Indian Army troops on the Siachen Glacier.
Based on information from local shepherds, the Indian Army was able to ascertain the points of incursion and launch "Operation Vijay"
The battle lasted for three months and finally on 26 July 1999 Indian Army recaptured all the Indian posts in Kargil that had been occupied by Pakistan's army. However, the victory came at a high price. The official death toll on the Indian side was 527 and 1363 were wounded.
This video is dedicated to the Legends of Kargil war… Who gave their today for our tomorrow…
