grammatical mistakes.

The convoy had left Jammu around 03:30 IST and was carrying a large number of personnel due to the highway having been shut down for two days prior. The word travelling should be spelled as traveling.

Not done: Travelling is the British English spelling, or Indian English, in this case – macaddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:53, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please add this to the article: "Pulwama attackers were sponsored by Pakistani military, as admitted by their Air Force spokesperson." [1] [2] [3] 2405:201:4039:200B:206A:F170:1F:F2EB (talk) 09:36, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

on May 11, 2025, Pakistan's Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed publicly referred to the 2019 Pulwama terror attack as an act of "tactical brilliance," effectively acknowledging Pakistan's involvement in the incident. This marked a significant departure from Pakistan's longstanding denial of any role in the attack.

They might mean Pulwama crisis, not just Pulwama militant attack. For controversial statements like these, we need to wait for a reliable secondary source which wets the data. Truth Layer 123 (talk) 17:32, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When dealing with international disputes, the highest quality sources are needed, such as established newspapers with high reputation for fact-checking. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:56, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please add this recent context.

Recently the Pakistan Air Chief has admitted to their role in the Pulwama attacks as their tactical brilliance. This is years later after their initial denial of any involvement. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] 2409:40F2:35F:B09E:C8C1:BCFF:FE8B:AC7A (talk) 15:11, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
