Aug 29/30 Conflict between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladhak.

Ladakh Standoff: The incidents took place overnight between August 29 and 30, according to a defence ministry statement.

New Delhi: Chinese troops "carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo" near Pangong Tso lake on Saturday night but they were blocked by Indian soldiers, the government said today. This took place on the south bank of the Pangong Tso, which is of huge significance as it is a new area, according to sources. A Brigade Commander-level meeting is on at Chushul to defuse tension, the government said.

Here are 10 developments in this big story:
  1. The incidents took place overnight between August 29 and 30, according to a statement by the Army.
  2. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops "violated the previous consensus arrived at during military and diplomatic engagements during the ongoing standoff in eastern Ladakh and carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo," said the statement.
  3. "Indian troops preempted 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.
  4. The statement asserted that the army is committed to maintaining peace and tranquility through dialogue, "but is also equally determined to protect its territorial integrity".
  5. A deadlock over parts of Ladakh where the Chinese army set up camp earlier this year has not been resolved despite five rounds of talks between the militaries of both nations.
  6. A week ago, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat had said India has "military options" to deal with China if the military and diplomatic level talks did not produce results.
  7. The stand-off between India and China which started in April-May peaked on June 15 when 20 Indian soldiers were killed in action at Galwan Valley. Some 40 Chinese soldiers were killed or injured in the clash, though Beijing never confirmed figures. The two nations had agreed on disengagement since but the withdrawal of troops is still not complete.
  8. Chinese soldiers continue to occupy positions in depth on slopes along Finger 5 and on slopes extending towards Finger 8, satellite pictures showed. India believes the Line of Actual Control lies at Finger 8, near Fort Khurnak, a historic site in the area. China believes the LAC is at Finger 4 and has prevented Indian soldiers from patrolling beyond the point since April.
  9. Last week, after strong comments by Foreign Minister S Jaishankar that the stand-off along the Line of Actual Control of LAC was the "most serious situation after 1962 (when India and China fought a war)", China said differences needed to be sorted out peacefully.
  10. "This is surely the most serious situation after 1962. In fact, after 45 years, we have had military casualties on this border. The quantum of forces currently deployed by both sides at the LAC is also unprecedented," Mr Jaishankar told Rediff.com in an interview. The Foreign Minister said that India has conveyed to China clearly that peace and tranquility in border areas are the basis for the relationship between the two neighbours.

Admire the Chinese who dont care if they lose hundreds of soldiers as long as objectives set by their seniors are met. Also the Chinese try to maintain good relations with neighbors by concealing their own casualties. Very noble.
 
Only indian sources are reporting this. Until Chinese or other credible sources start reporting about the incident, we will have no idea of what really happened.
 
how many indian deaths this time ?
and dont blame china ! , india escalated it when it intruded into sikkim LAC area and intruded into bhutan claimed territory to stop china for building road .

The passage below is from an Indian source.

"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."

So essentially they made the first per-emptive move, and now they blame China for provocation? I don't understand Indian logic.
