NEW DELHI: Indian and Chinese troops clashed in the Yangtse area of Tawang sector in Arunachal Pradesh last week, the first such encounter between the neighbours since the deadly Galwan valley incident in June 2020.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has intruded across the LAC in the sector several times in the past to damage unoccupied bunkers and other infrastructure on the Indian side. Yangtse, in particular, has been witnessing frequent face-offs between the rival armies.
