Minor Indian-Chinese troops skirmish along Ladakh border reported

Must Read

(TibetanReview.net, Aug13’24) – It is not clear how often skirmishes are taking place between the two sides along the Tibet-India border Line of Actual Control (LAC), if at all. However, one reported incident has taken place on Aug 12 morning in the Burtse area in the Durbuk Sector of Ladakh.

Sticks were used freely by both sides during the confrontation that took place at 4 am, reported thestatesman.com Aug 12.

The trouble started with the Chinese troops reportedly burning two RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) huts on the Indian side of the LAC. This was followed by a faceoff between the Indian and PLA troops of China, the report said.

The minor skirmish was stated to have taken place near the LAC pillar point 12 while India was replacing an Armoured Battalion from the area.

Tension has been prevailing between the Indian and Chinese Armies since Jun 2020 when troops from the two sides got engaged in a brutal physical confrontation without the use of firearms in the Galwan valley. It resulted in the death of 20 Indian soldiers. China belatedly admitted that four of its soldiers died, although intelligence reports said the figure was much higher.

India and China have held at least 20 rounds of military talks and 13 rounds of foreign office led discussions but there is no let-up in the tensions, the report said.
