Five years have passed since the tragic Pulwama attack on February 14, 2019, when a convoy of 78 vehicles transporting over 2500 Indian security personnel in Pulwama district's Lethapora was targeted by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber on National Highway 44. This attack resulted in the loss of 40 Indian CRPF personnel and numerous injuries, marking it as the deadliest terror attack on India's security forces in Kashmir since 1989.

The attack, famously known as the 2019 Pulwama attack, was claimed by Jaish-e-Mohammed, a militant group with ties to Pakistan. Adil Ahmad Dar, a 22-year-old from Kakapora, was identified as the perpetrator. Despite Pakistan's consistent denial of involvement, evidence pointed towards Jaish-e-Mohammed's culpability.
