The attack on the CRPF convoy took place in Jammu and Kashmir`s Pulwama district on February 14, 2019 in which 40 personnel were killed.

A suicide bomber had rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the bus. The convoy had 78 buses in which around 2,500 personnel were travelling from Jammu to Srinagar.

Days after the attack, the Indian Air Force on February 26 carried out multiple aerial strikes at JeM terror camps in Pakistan`s Balakot, killing a "large number" of terrorists and destroying their infrastructure.
