BREAKING: Chinese aggression on southern bank of Pangong Tso, Ladakh on Aug 29-30, thwarted says Indian Army: pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…
This was a violent clash near Chushul. Hand to hand fighting. No weapons fired & no casualties reported. #LadakhClash
As details come in, here’s my prelim take on the latest #LadakhClash:
1. Chinese posture hasn’t even slightly changed following talks
2. Chinese fully focused on changing lines, occupying territory
3. Indian Army mobilised here in advance expecting precisely this
4. Trust now -∞

BREAKING: Full statement from the Indian Govt’s Ministry of Electronics & IT. Statement says the apps are “engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order”.
Have to say I've used only one of the 59 apps in this list (Cam Scanner). Nearly downloaded Clash of Kings long back, can't remember why I didn't, had heard great things. #TikTokBanIndia

Thread on what happened, as I understand it. In the absence of official information, here's the best I can do at this time:

After Lt Gen-level talks 10 days ago, *token* disengagement had begun - few tents. Last week, a camp that had been removed by Chinese was brought back. 1/n
CO & group of men (unarmed) went to the camp to tell Chinese to follow disengagement plan, quickly came under attack with stones. Chinese soldiers assaulted with barbed wire clubs etc. CO grievously hurt, removed immediately. Remaining soldiers surrounded, held by Chinese. 2/n
By sunset, CO succumbs to injuries + unarmed Indian men still held by Chinese. Indian Major & more go to camp, armed with their own melee weapons. Come under attack, fight back hard. Casualties inflicted among Indian captive men + several on Chinese side too. 3/n
