Complete deatails on 1965 war from rann of kutch to battle of dograi
Skirmishes at rann of kutch
On April 9, 51-Infantry-Brigade of the Pakistan Army, crossed the international border into the ‘Rann of Kutch’ and captured Sardar Post near Kanjarkot. On April 24, Pakistan attacked again with tanks and artillery and captured four more posts.
The Indian Army did not put up any significant fight and withdrew. They reasoned that the monsoon flooding of the Kutch would, in any case, drive the Pakistani Army out.
Although Indian force in that region, was not prepared to drive out the Pakistani forces at that moment.
2 months later, leaders from both nations met in London. There, under the influence of then British PM, a cease-fire agreement was signed on June 30. Under this agreement, Pakistan agreed to withdraw its forces & India allowed Pakistan to use a road it had constructed in the area
Operation ablaze
