War on a Glacier: The Highest Altitude Battlefield on Earth November 20, 2021 Unipro2013main History, Military History </p> <h2>The Highest Altitude Battlefield</h2> <p> It was April 13th, 1984, when the Indian Armed Forces launched a military campaign on one of the most unlikely battlefields on earth: a glacier towering 6,500 meters above sea level.<br /> <br /> Their mission was to take full control of the area, a remote and uninhabited stretch of the disputed territory known as the Karakoram range of the Himalayas that straddled the India/Pakistan border. The border in question was established in 1949 in the aftermath of Partition. It was conceived in the Karachi Agreement, which itself ended the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947, an armed conflict between the two newly independent nations for territory in the shared and highly disputed Kashmir region.<br /> <br /> Credit to : Dark Docs</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here :
