Pulwama is a district in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). In February 2019, a terrorist attack took place in Pulwama, which resulted in the deaths of 40 Indian security personnel. The attack was carried out by a suicide bomber who drove an explosive-laden vehicle into a convoy of vehicles carrying the security personnel.
The convoy was traveling on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. The terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed responsibility for the attack. The incident led to a tense situation between India and Pakistan, with India accusing Pakistan of supporting terrorist organizations operating in the region.
