In a statement released on Tuesday afternoon, the Indian Army revealed that three Indians – a colonel and two soldiers – were killed in a “violent face-off” with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley on Monday night. Indian military sources have revealed that no shots were fired and it was a hand-to-hand skirmish, and there were casualties on both sides.
“During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties. The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers. Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation,” the Army’s statement said.
The Ministry of External Affairs has released its own statement on the face-off, noting that “the Chinese side departed from the consensus to respect the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Galwan Valley.”
Major Generals from both armies are reportedly in talks. The news agency ANI has quoted unnamed sources as having said that China’s Vice Foreign Minister, Luo Zhaohui, and Indian Ambassador to China, Vikram Misri, have met in Beijing.
The Army has not specified what the nature of the violent face-off was. It appears as though shots were not fired and there was “physical brawl” between the two armies. While initial reports said the army would hold a press conference at 2 pm, this did not happen.
