In a first, Pakistan Army admits role in Kargil War

In a significant departure from its long-standing narrative, the Pakistan Army has publicly acknowledged its involvement in the 1999 Kargil War against India. The admission came from Army Chief General Asim Munir during a Defense Day commemoration event, where he honored Pakistani soldiers who had died in various conflicts with India, including the Kargil War. "Be it 1948, 1965, 1971, or the Kargil war of 1999, thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country and Islam," he said.
