The Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir is a de facto border separating the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir from the Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan regions. It is approximately 740 kilometers long and serves as the military ceasefire line established after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The LoC is heavily militarized, with both countries maintaining a large military presence along the border. It is a highly contentious and disputed boundary, with occasional clashes and cross-border firing between India and Pakistan.
