Islamabad : Pakistan suffered 370 fatalities and 661 injuries due to the border conflicts with India between Oct 16, 2016 and Feb 25, 2021.
A report compiled by Senior Research Fellow M Nafees at the Centre for Research and Security Studies, looks back at the losses on both sides in terms of human lives during this prolonged hostile period.
The highest fatalities from these skirmishes and attacks took place in 2019. In that year, India carried out an aerial attack inside Pakistan to target an alleged terrorist training camp at Balakot. An Indian plane was shot down by Pakistani forces, and its pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was taken into custody for roughly 60 hours.
