2019 Pulwama Attack

The Pulwama attack, carried out on 14 February 2019, involved a suicide bomber who rammed an IED-laden vehicle into a CRPF convoy, killing 40 personnel.

In response, the Indian Air Force launched airstrikes on 26 February, targeting Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camps in Pakistan’s Balakot.

The next day, an aerial engagement took place, during which Pakistan shot down IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman’s MiG-21 Bison and captured him. Pakistan later released him.

The Pulwama attack remains one of the deadliest terror incidents in India, with the nation continuing to honor the bravery and sacrifice of its fallen soldiers.
