      FACT CHECK

      BOOM broke up the video into key frames and did a reverse image search.

      We found links to multiple websites which featured the video as that being of a car bomb attack in Syria.

      The video was uploaded two days prior to the attack on security forces in Jammu & Kashmir.

      According to an article by wire agency Reuters, a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint in the Syrian town of al-Rai near the Turkish border on February 12, 2019.

      Four civilians and three security personnel were reported to be wounded in the blast.

      The town of al-Rai in northern Aleppo in the north of Syria is under the control of Turkey-backed rebels and was seized from Islamic State militants in 2016.

      We also found tweets which confirm the video is not from Jammu & Kashmir.
