There have been reports of minor injuries received by the military on both sides of the border.
The area in Ladakh is disputed and in 1962 a fierce battle had been fought in this area. Two years ago, a confrontation was reported between soldiers from the two countries.
Sources added that such problems are mutually solved by troops at the local command level according to established protocols, and the latest skirmish has occurred after a long time. The matter was resolved after talks with the commanders, but tensions between the armies prevail.
Earlier in the day, reports said clashes broke out between Indian and Chinese forces in the Naku La sector in northern Sikkim. The area has no road connectivity and is maintained by helicopter. A total of 150 soldiers are known to have been involved in the clash, which reportedly took place a few days ago.
Sources told Zee Media that the clashes took place during regular patrolling of the forces of the two countries.
The border dispute between India and China spans the current 3,488 km Line of Control, the de facto border between the two countries. China claims that Arunachal Pradesh is part of southern Tibet, while India disputes it.
