    What's the story

    In a horrific incident, two buses of a CRPF convoy were attacked by an explosive at Awantipora area of Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.

    In the attack triggered by IED blast, 40 CRPF soldiers were martyred while 40 others were injured. Terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack.
