India-China Disputed Border Clash

India claims that its troops and Chinese troops have engaged in combat in a boundary dispute region.

A violent conflict that resulted in at least 24 servicemen were killed in 2020, the nations have been attempting to defuse tensions.

The Indian army said on Monday that a conflict had taken place last Friday in the Tawang sector in the eastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.

Several troops sustained minor injuries as a result of the involvement of both sides.

China has not yet responded to the standoff.  A source in the Indian army quoted, at least six Indian soldiers are hurt.

The Indian army said that “both sides instantly disengaged from the region.”

It further stated that soon thereafter, officers from both sides met “to restore peace and tranquility.”

India and China A Border conflict

The Line of Actual Control, often known as LAC, is an unofficial, 3,440 kilometer (2,100 mi) long boundary between China and India that is subject to dispute.

The line may move due to the existence of rivers, lakes, and snowcaps. At certain moments, the soldiers on either side—representing two of the biggest armies in the world—come face to face.

Sometimes tensions rise to the point of clashes. A significant combat in June 2020 in the Galwan Valley in the Ladakh area. Almost 20 Indian soldiers and at least four Chinese soldiers killed.

It has been 45 years since the last fatal clash between the two groups in the region. The Battle at that time was fought with sticks and clubs rather than firearms.

In January 2021, there were casualties among the troops on both sides. It occurred at the Bhutan-Nepal border in the Indian state of Sikkim, which borders both China and India.

Both nations started withdrawing their troops from a disputed territory along a remote border area in the western Himalayas in September after reaching an agreement to do so.
