est. deaths
A long-dormant border dispute over ancient temples reignited into the worst fighting between the two countries in years, including fighter-jet sorties and rocket fire. A ceasefire was signed December 27, 2025, but the conflict has broken down and reignited multiple times before that — status should be treated as fragile rather than resolved.
