The Battle of Biar Bet was a significant clash in the Rann of Kutch, part of Operation Desert Hawk by the Pakistan Army against India. It was fought over disputed territory controlled by India, reflecting heightened tensions between the two nations.

Background[edit]

The Rann of Kutch (alternately spelled as Kuchchh) is a large area of salt marshes that span the border between India and Pakistan. The area was originally part of the princely state of Kutch, which was acceded to India^[1]^[2] in present-day Kutch region of Gujarat. Both countries maintained a limited number of armed police posts scattered along the border.
