उस पथ पर देना तुम फेंक
मातृभूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने
जिस पथ जावें वीर अनेक।

Tensions between India and Pakistan reached a new high in the aftermath of the Lethpora suicide attack.
India responded to the attack by bombing terror facilities deep inside Pakistan in the Balakote area on February 26, 2019.
Pakistan denied that the Indian bombers had hit any target of consequences, but the fact that Indian warplanes went deep into Pakistan airspace came as an embarrassment to Pakistan's defence establishment.
