"14th Feb was a black day for India": Sania Mirza posts emotional message

The worst attack in Kashmir in 30 years took place on Thursday at Awantipora in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district when over 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel died and many were injured in a suicide car blast.

Many prominent personalities, including film stars and sportsmen/women, extended their support for the Indian army and the CRPF on social media. On Sunday, Indian tennis player Sania Mirza tweeted out an emotional message.

Mirza called 14th February a black day and offered support for the soldiers and their families. Mirza wrote, "14th February was a black day for India and I hope we never have to see another day like this, no amount of condolences can make any of this better."
