Ladakh: India and China indulged in a fresh skirmish at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh where the militaries of both countries fired warning shots in the air to scare and push back each other.
Sources in Indian Army stated that China resorted to firing in air to scare their patrol. The Indian Army's official statement is yet to come.
The incident happened near Shenpao mountain near the south bank of Pangong Tso (Lake) on Monday.
India recently outflanked China by taking control of strategic height near Pangong lake's southern bank.
It thwarted an attempt by the Chinese army to transgress into Indian areas near the southern bank of Pangong Tso near Chushul in Ladakh.
India and China are engaged in a standoff since April-May over the transgressions by the Chinese Army in multiple areas including Finger area, Galwan valley, Hot springs and Kongrung Nala.
The situation worsened after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in violent clashes with Chinese troops in Galwan valley in June. The talks between the two sides have been going on for the last three months including five Lieutenant General level talks but have failed to yield any results, so far.
