What is a border skirmish?

A border skirmish refers to a small-scale conflict or clash between the armed forces or security personnel of two or more countries along their shared international border. These skirmishes often involve limited military engagement, such as firing of artillery, exchange of gunfire, or minor incursions into each other's territory. Border skirmishes are typically characterized by their localized nature and are considered less severe than full-scale wars or conflicts.
