India won the Kargil War in July 1999. Indian forces recaptured the territory occupied by Pakistani troops, while Pakistan withdrew its forces under international diplomatic pressure. In India, the war exposed weaknesses in intelligence gathering and border surveillance, prompting military reforms. In Pakistan, the conflict contributed to a military coup that overthrew the civilian government later that year.
