Border tensions between India and China have flared up once again with at least two incidents of violent clashes and stone-pelting taking place between rival troops in Ladakh and Sikkim over the last week, which left several soldiers on both sides injured.
The clash in eastern Ladakh, in particular, led both India and China to send additional troop reinforcements to the border area. But the Army played down the two incidents as “temporary and short-duration face-offs” that were resolved by “local commanders as per mutually-accepted protocols” through dialogue and flag meetings.
