After being stoned, other clashes at the border between India and China

India said its troops have crashed with Chinese soldiers along the border disputed between the two states, as the Chinese Army reportedly violated diplomatic and military agreements for the Marched Arena.

The Ministry of Defence in India in a statement issued Monday said Chinese troops have carried out provocative military movements.

Both states have deployed thousands of troops, tanks and weapons artillery near the border.

The number of victims is not yet clear, and while there is a high-level meeting in the process of resolving tensions, India's military has been fully deployed along the disputed border.

Indian troops “took measures to strengthen our positions and thwart Chinese goals to unilaterally change the facts on the ground,” said the ministry, citing it would not issue further details for “the preservation of operational security”.

India and China's worst dispute in four decades culminated in the death of 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese soldiers in an ugly battle on June 15th.

Since that time tensions have continued to boil, with India discovering in late July that it was positioning another 35,000 additional troops along the border, while the possibility of an early resolution of deadly tensions between the two neighbours waned.
