Over 40 soldiers lost their lives after a suicide vehicle-borne suicide bomber rammed into the CRPF convoy at Lethpora on the?Jammu–Srinagar National Highway?in Pulwama district.??The responsibility for the attack was claimed by the?Pakistan-based?Islamist?terrorist[7]?group,?Jaish-e-Mohammed. In a retaliatory attack, the Indian Air Force targeted terror camps in Balakot in Pakistan.

The convoy had left Jammu around 03:30 IST and was carrying a large number of personnel due to the highway having been shut down two days prior. The convoy was scheduled to reach its destination before sunset.
