India says 20 soldiers killed in skirmish with China
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least 20 Indian soldiers have been killed in a violent face-off with Chinese forces on the disputed Himalayan border, the Indian army says, the deadliest clash between the nuclear-armed neighbors in decades.
India had earlier said three of its troops were killed, but in a statement later Tuesday the army adds that 17 more “who were critically injured (on Monday) in the line of duty at the stand-off location and exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain have succumbed to their injuries, taking the total that were killed in action to 20.”
