On Feb 14, 2019, a local suicide bomber belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammad Adil Dar rammed his explosive-laden car into a CRPF bus at Lethpora Pulwama killing 40 personnel.
The attack was followed by the Balakote air strikes carried out by India against the terrorist launch pads in PoK. A day later Pakistan retaliated and it triggered a brief dogfight. The Pulwama attack had brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war.
