The Indian Army has lost one officer and two soldiers in a violent faceoff at Galwan Valley, Indo-China border last night. In its official statement the army said, “During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night (Monday night) with casualties on both sides… The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers.’
“Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation,” it added.
Tensions between the countries have been rising since last month over border dispute. Previously the violent faceoff took place in 1975 when Indian patrol was ambushed by Chinese soldiers on Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh and in 1967 at Nathu La pass.
