evidence: Saltoro Kangri is located in the northernmost part of the Karakoram Range, which spans the borders of Pakistan, India, and China. The Saltoro Range forms a major ridge line to the west of the Siachen Glacier, one of the longest glaciers outside the polar regions. The peak itself lies on the line of control (LoC) between India and Pakistan, in the contested Kashmir region. [...] Saltoro Kangri holds a strategic position along the western flank of the glacier, making it a key point of interest for both India and Pakistan. Indian forces currently occupy the higher ground along the Saltoro Ridge, including posts near Saltoro Kangri, while Pakistani forces control positions on the lower slopes to the west. The Line of Control (LoC), which separates Indian-administered Kashmir from Pakistani-administered Kashmir, runs along the Saltoro Ridge. India claims sovereignty over the entire Siachen Glacier and the surrounding areas, including Saltoro Kangri, while Pakistan disputes this claim. The two countries have engaged in numerous rounds of negotiations over the years, but no permanent resolution has been reached.
