Chinese and Indian troops are reported to have once again engaged in a fierce clash along their shared high altitude Himalayan border, resulting in injuries, according to international reports emerging overnight.
Word of the clash which reportedly took place in north Sikkim on Wednesday is only now being revealed, where frontline border patrols tend to be unarmed. “A Chinese patrol tried to enter Indian territory and was forced back, the officials said,” according to BBC, citing regional media. “Some reports said sticks and stones were used, but there were no gunshots.”
Typically frontline border patrols on either side are unarmed because of the history of tensions, which each side fears could lead to border war between Indian and China.
According to the latest from The Times of India:
Sources said the brawl at Naku La took place after Indian troops challenged the attempt by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to intrude into Indian territory. “Both sides brought in some reinforcements…there were injuries on both sides in the physical clash. But there was no firing. The situation is under control,” said a source.
