Fresh clashes between Indian Army & Chinese PLA in Eastern Ladakh

A fresh clash between the Indian and Chinese soldiers on the intervening night of 29 August and 30 August occurred on the southern bank of Pangong Tso in eastern Ladakh, breaking the uneasy calm that had persisted following the deadly clash in Galwan Valley on the 15 of June.

A Brigade Commander-level flag meeting is in progress at Chushul to resolve the issue, said an Army statement Monday.

The PLA troops carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo, said the statement.

“Indian troops pre-empted this PLA activity on the Southern Bank of Pangong Tso Lake, undertook measures to strengthen our positions and thwart Chinese intentions to unilaterally change facts on ground,” it said.

It added that the Army is committed to maintaining peace and tranquility through dialogue, but is also equally determined to protect its territorial integrity.

However, the Army didn’t give more details and didn’t respond to queries on possible injuries and how serious the clash was.
