On this day in 2019, Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad targeted a bus ferrying CRPF jawans in Pulwama. A suicide bomber crashed his explosive-laden vehicle into a CRPF bus, thereby killing 40 jawans. Following the attack, India launched a retaliatory attack, which saw Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets bombing terror training camps in Balakot, Pakistan. The attack was later known as the Balakot airstrike. Pulwama Attack Anniversary 2025: Amit Shah Pays Tribute to 40 CRPF Personnel Killed in Terror Attack, Says ‘Narendra Modi Govt Determined To Destroy Terrorists’.
