The terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district had martyred over 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and had brought India and Pakistan to the brink of a potential conflict.

Around 12 days after the attack, in the wee hours on February 26, 2019, the Indian Air Force (IAF) launched an attack on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) camps in Balakot, located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of Pakistan.
