Point 5240 (also called Point 5245) is a mountain peak situated on the Line of Control, the de facto border dividing the Indian- and Pakistani-administered portions of Ladakh in the Dras sector of Kargil district.[1][2][3] It lies southeast of Point 5353,[4] at the end of the ridgeline, on the LoC, coming from Point 5105, one kilometre east of a feature known as Rocky Knob,[2][3] about 800 metres away from the base of Point 5140.[5]
Following the end of the Kargil War, the Indian and Pakistani local military commanders agreed to a plan to vacate Point 5240, along with two other mountains nearby — namely, Point 5353 and Point 5165 — all on the LoC.[1][4] However, in late October 1999, units of 8 Mountain Division of the Indian Army captured Point 5240.[1] They subsequently captured Point 5165 as well apparently to forestall their capture by Pakistanis.[1] Thus, Point 5240 continues to be under Indian control.
Point 5240 provides "good" observation of the Pakistani supply route for Point 5353, according to the Indian defence ministry.[6]
