NEW DELHI/SRINAGAR (Reuters) – At least 12 Indian soldiers were killed in clashes with Chinese troops at a disputed border site between the two countries on Monday, three Indian government sources said on Tuesday.
The Indian army said in a statement earlier on Tuesday that one of its officers and two soldiers were killed in a “violent faceoff” on the contested border with China.
China and India have traded accusations over who was to blame for the fight in the Ladakh region of the western Himalayas.
