陸印邊界再爆衝突 3印度士兵遭殺害
Three Indian soldiers have been killed in a clash with Chinese forces in Ladakh in the disputed Kashmir region.
The Indian army said "senior military officials of the two sides are meeting to defuse the situation", adding that both sides suffered casualties.
China responded by calling on India not take unilateral actions or stir up trouble, the Reuters agency reported.
China has also accused India of crossing the border and attacking Chinese soldiers, the AFP agency said.
The clash comes amid rising tensions between the two countries. India has accused China of sending thousands of troops into Ladakh's Galwan valley.
The deaths are believed to be the first in decades in a confrontation between the two powers. They have fought only one war so far, in 1962, when India suffered a humiliating defeat.
India accuses China of occupying 38,000 sq km of its territory. Several rounds of talks in the last three decades have failed to resolve the boundary disputes.
In may, dozens of Indian and Chinese soldiers exchanged physical blows in a clash on the border in the northeastern state of Sikkim. And in 2017, the two countries clashed in the region after China tried to extend a border road through a disputed plateau.
The Indian army is expected to address reporters shortly to provide more information about the incident.
(CNN)Three Indian soldiers were killed during a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops along the countries' de facto border in the Himalayas late Monday, the Indian army said in a statement.
The incident occurred during a "deescalation process" underway in the Galwan Valley in the disputed Aksai Chin-Ladakh area, where a large troop build up has reportedly been taking place for weeks now on both sides of the border, before senior military commanders began talks earlier this month.
According to the Indian army statement, the loss of life on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers. The statement did not say whether there were any Chinese casualties. It added that senior military officials from both sides are currently meeting to defuse the situation.
At a regular press conference Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that on Monday "Indian troops seriously violated our consensus and twice crossed the border line for illegal activities and provoked and attacked Chinese personnel which lead to serious physical conflict between the two sides."
"China has lodged strong protest and representation with the India side, and we once again we solemnly ask the India side to follow our consensus and strictly regulate its front line troops and do not cross the line and do not stir up troubles or take unilateral moves that may complicate matters," Zhao added. "We both agreed to resolve this issue through dialogue and consolation and make efforts for easing the situation and upholding peace and tranquility in the border area."
