Chinese Forces Kill 3 Indian Troops During First Deadly Border Clash In Nearly 50 Years
Following days of escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, Indian Army officials confirmed that three troops – an officer and two soldiers, to be more precise – had been gunned down by Chinese forces during a “violent faceoff” in Galwan Valley in the Ladakh region, which rests along the country’s border with China on Monday night.
A statement from the Indian Army says both sides were meeting to diffuse tensions building up on the border in the last several weeks. Other reports indicate the soldiers weren’t shot but had been killed during a rock-throwing melee reminiscent of another border incident back in May, where both sides reported injuries.
