The 2014–2015 India–Pakistan border skirmishes were a series of armed clashes and exchanges of gunfire between the Indian Border Security Force and the Pakistan Rangers: the paramilitary gendarmerie forces of both nations, responsible for patrolling the India-Pakistan border) along the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region and the borders of the Punjab. Tensions began in mid-July 2014, with both countries' military officials and media reports giving different accounts of the incidents and accusing each other of initiating the hostilities. The incident sparked outrage in both countries and harsh reactions by the Indian and Pakistani militaries and the Indian and Pakistani governments.
In September 2015, a Pakistani delegation headed by the Pakistan Rangers director general Umar Farooq, visited India for bilateral talks; Indian Border Security Force director general Devendra Kumar headed the Indian delegation. Both sides agreed to halt cross-border ceasefire violations.[14]Indian Minister of Home AffairsRajnath Singh told the Pakistani delegation, "Indian forces will not fire the first bullet along the international border."[15] The Pakistani delegation raised the issue of the killing of a Pakistani Ranger by Indian BSF fire (which resulted in escalation and retaliatory fire), and the Indian BSF director-general pledged that no such incident would occur in the future.[14] Both sides agreed to conduct joint investigations of future ceasefire violations and to strengthen border security;[14] The Indian BSF and Pakistan Rangers agreed to improve communications.[16]

Reaction
India
Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi said in October 2014 that the government would not let the Indian people down and "everything will be fine soon".[118][119] According to defence minister Manohar Parrikar, "If Pakistan persists with this adventurism, our forces will make the cost of this adventurism unaffordable".[120][121] Home minister Rajnath Singh said that the Pakistan must stop cross-border ceasefire violations because "times have changed in India".[122][123]
Eighteen Pakistani militants were killed[124] and 19 camps were reportedly destroyed in October 2014.[125]
Pakistan
Pakistani military officials and the government accused India of violating the ceasefire and opening fire in Pakistani territory (after which the Pakistani military retaliated), condemning the October 2014 LoC violation by the Indian Army.[25][126] Pakistani Defence MinisterKhawaja Asif responded to his Indian counterpart, "We don't want to convert border tension between two nuclear neighbors into confrontation".[127][128]
On 12 October 2014, Pakistani National Security Adviser (NSA) Sartaj Aziz appealed to the United Nations to resolve the crisis.[12] The UN declined Pakistan's request for intervention, saying that the dispute should be resolved with bilateral discussions.[129]
Pakistan Rangers director-general Tahir Javaid Khan said that India fired nearly 30,000 mortar rounds between 2010 and 2014, and Indian ceasefire violations resembled a small-scale war.[130] On 31 December 2014, National Security AdviserSartaj Aziz sent a letter via the Pakistani embassy in New Delhi to External Affairs MinisterSushma Swaraj protesting India's "breach of trust" in their killing of two Rangers.[131] In his response, Swaraj dismissed Pakistan's allegations.[132] On 28 August 2015, Chief of Army StaffRaheel Sharif said that what he called the targeting of civilians was "highly unprofessional, unethical, irresponsible and cowardly."[133]
United Nations
On 9 October 2014, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-GeneralBan Ki-moon issued a statement that Secretary Ban wanted India and Pakistan "to engage constructively to find a long-term solution for peace and stability in Kashmir".[134][135]
