Chinese Commanding Officer killed in face-off

Commanding Officer of the Chinese Unit involved in the face-off with Indian troops in the Galwan Valley among those killed: Sources confirm to ANI.

Indian intercepts reveal that the Chinese army suffered 43 casualties including dead and seriously injured in the violent face-off in Ladakh's Galwan valley, sources confirmed to ANI.

The violent face-off occurred late evening and night of June 15 as a result of an attempt by the Chinese troops to 'unilaterally change' the status quo during de-escalation in Eastern Ladakh.

The situation could have been avoided had the agreement at the higher level been scrupulously followed by the Chinese side, India said on Tuesday.

At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in the violent face-off, government sources said, but warned that the Indian casualty numbers could rise.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh held two review meetings over developments in Eastern Ladakh during the day.
