Pakistan and India have a history of bitter relations.
Since gaining independence from British rule in 1947, Pakistan and India have fought two of their three wars for control of Kashmir, which is divided and claimed by both countries.
The two-nation military has been on high alert since 2019 when Pakistan shot down an Indian warplane in Kashmir and captured a pilot in response to an airstrike by Indian aircraft targeting terrorists inside Pakistan. The pilot was later returned to India to avoid escalating tensions.
Later, Pakistan and India agreed to stop cross-border firing in the disputed region of Kashmir, promising to abide by a 2003 agreement that had previously been largely ignored. That ceasefire is still on.
