Ladakh: China in the early hours of Tuesday claimed that the Indian army crossed the Royal Line of Control (LAC). She also claimed that Indian troops fired “warning shots” near Pangong Tso Lake in eastern Ladakh, against which her soldiers took “countermeasures”.
Chinese Western Theater Command spokesman Colonel Zhang Shiuli said that India, while acting provocatively, illegally crossed the Royal Line of Control at Shenpao Mountain near the southern shore of Pangong Tso Lake on Monday. He said that during the operation, the Indian army opened fire and threatened our soldiers.
China further accused India of severely violated agreements between the two parties and blamed that it is working to increase regional tensions, calling it an act of provocation and this leads to misunderstandings.
Zhang Shuili urged the Indian side to stop this dangerous game immediately and asked the Indian soldiers to return to their border. Along with this, investigate the matter and act against the soldiers who opened fire so that such an incident does not occur again.
The Chinese newspaper Global Times reported on the incident writing: “ The Indian army illegally re-crossed the Royal Line of Control at Shenpao Mountain near the southern shore of Pangong Tso Lake on Monday, the Western Theater Command spokesperson revealed # PLA ”.
According to ANI, a shooting incident occurred at the Royal Line of Control (LAC) in the eastern sector of Ladakh, where troops from India and China have been in conflict for more than three months.
India recently overtook China by taking control of a strategic height near the southern shore of Lake Pangong. It thwarted an attempt by the Chinese army to transgress in Indian areas near the southern shore of Pangong Tso near Chushul in Ladakh.
India and China have been in a clash since April-May over the Chinese army’s transgressions in multiple areas, including the Finger area, the Galwan Valley, Hot Springs and Kongrung Nala.
The situation worsened after 20 Indian soldiers died in violent clashes with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in June.
Talks between the two sides have been going on over the past three months, including five talks at the lieutenant general level, but so far they have not yielded any results.
