40 Indian Bravehearts were slain three years ago in one of the bloodiest terror strikes on security forces in history, bringing India and Pakistan dangerously close to war. After a barbaric strike from Pakistan, every Indian shed tears on that sad day.
What happened on Feb 14th 2019?
A suicide bomber from the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror organisation struck a CRPF convoy in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pulwama area on February 14, 2019. The incident resulted in the deaths of 40 people.
At around 3:15 p.m., an explosives-laden automobile collided with a vehicle carrying multiple CRPF agents, resulting in a tragic explosion. The attack resulted in the deaths of 40 CRPF soldiers on the spot, as well as the injuries of several others. Jaish-e-Mohammad claimed responsibility for the incident shortly after it occurred, uploading a video of the assailant, Adil Ahmad Dar, a 22-year-old male.
How India Fought Back ?
Tensions between India and Pakistan have risen since the heinous incident. The security forces have been granted authority to select the timing, location, and manner of their response to the Pulwama terror incident, according to the Prime Minister. After that, India carried out a counter-terror airstrike against a JeM training camp. IAF jets targeted the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror camps in Balakot, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, in the early hours of February 26, 2019, in retaliation for the Pulwama terrorist assault.
Failed Attack of Pakistan
The Pakistan Air Force reacted the next day, shooting down a MiG-21 and capturing its pilot, Wing Commander Abhinanadan Varthaman, who was eventually released. An effort by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to strike military installations in Jammu and Kashmir was prevented by the Indian Air Force (IAF). Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, commanding a MiG-21 Bison aircraft, shot down a PAF F-16 fighter jet in the aerial battle.
