Wars are as disastrous for economic loss as for social loss. A robust war leads to higher consumer demands, exhaustion of resources, declined output, shortage of labor supply, hoarding of products, increased imports, and other effects. All these factors raise prices, and inflation rises.

The time taken to recognize the inflation allows the inflation to keep rising for the time being. It is an example of recognition lag.
