At least 20 Indian Army soldiers killed in a face-off with Chinese troops
Why are the two sides fighting?
- In certain areas on the border, India and China have different “perceptions” of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) - Both the armies try and patrol up to their LAC, often resulting in face-offs - Tensions have been running high on the border since reports of a scuffle between the soldiers at Pangong Tso (eastern Ladakh) and Naku la (in Sikkim) a few months back - Both the armies have since deployed a large number of soldiers and heavy military equipment along the LAC.
