India-China border dispute: China claims, Indian soldiers fire warning shots at LAC
China says that on Monday, the Indian troops stationed on the LAC once again crossed the actual border line illegally and fired warning shots at the troops stationed on the Chinese border.
According to China, Chinese soldiers were about to talk. There is no response from India yet.
Chinese government media Global Times quoted a Chinese military spokesman as saying that Chinese troops had to be forced to retaliate to stabilize the situation.
Indian news agency ANI has also said that LAC has been fired in East Ladakh.
Chinese army spokesman Senior Colonel Zhang Shiuli issued a statement saying, “Indian troops crossed the LAC in the western part of the India-China border and entered the area of Shenpao mountain near the southern bank of Pungong Tso Lake.”
According to the statement, this step of the Indian Army was a serious violation of the agreement reached between the two sides, and it has increased the tension in the area.
According to the spokesman of the Chinese Army, this will increase misunderstandings on both sides and this is a serious military provocation and abominable action.
Spokesperson Zong said, “We demand from the Indian side to immediately stop such dangerous antics, call back the troops who have crossed the LAC immediately, keep the troops stationed at the border under control, Seriously investigate and punish the soldiers who have fired warning shots and also ensure that such incidents do not happen again. “
