JeM leaders like Masood Azhar, Rouf Asgar, and Ammar Alvi were key in organizing the operation.India took a strong political and diplomatic position. India acted decisively after the Pulwama atrocity. On February 26, 2019, the Indian Air Force  launched a pre-dawn attack targeting JeM’s largest terror training camp in Balakot, Pakistan. This very effective mission, code-named mission Bandar, represented the first airstrike inside Pakistan since the 1971 war.Multiple Mirage 2000 fighter planes carried out the raid, demolishing JeM’s Balakot training site.The strike reportedly killed several terrorists, trainers, and senior commanders.The airstrike hit a JeM facility operated by Masood Azhar's brother-in-law, Maulana Yousuf Azhar.Tensions between India and Pakistan rose after India's military reaction, causing IAF and Pakistan Air Force dogfights on February 27, 2019.The sacrifice of the 40 CRPF soldiers in the Pulwama incident is acknowledged with great respect and gratitude. India is committed to fighting terrorism, ensuring that such actions are never forgotten and that perpetrators are punished.On Friday, PM Narendra Modi honored the 40 CRPF members who died in the 2019 Pulwama terror incident.
