Multiple independent Indian news outlets consistently report that on 14 February 2019 a suicide bomber killed 40 CRPF personnel in Pulwama, Kashmir, and that Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility. The sources agree on the death toll and the attack's location, and the claim is corroborated by official statements and subsequent NIA investigations. No credible source contradicts these facts.
