14 February - The Pulwama terror attack 2019

 


The Pulwama terror attack occurred on February 14, 2019, in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. A convoy of Indian paramilitary personnel was targeted in a suicide bombing, resulting in a tragic loss of lives.

A vehicle-borne suicide bomber, affiliated with the militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed, rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a bus carrying Indian Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The attack resulted in the deaths of over 40 Indian security personnel and left many others injured. It was one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent years.

The incident escalated tensions between India and Pakistan, as India accused Pakistan of supporting and harboring the militant group responsible for the attack. In the aftermath, India conducted airstrikes on what it described as terrorist training camps in Pakistani territory, leading to increased hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

The Pulwama terror attack had significant geopolitical implications and intensified the long-standing conflict between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region. It also drew international attention and condemnation of terrorism in the region.
