🇮🇳 #India's government has remained silent about the potential fallout from clashes with #China's 🇨🇳 army in a disputed border area in the high #Himalayas

The most violent confrontation in decades between the two countries claimed 20 soldiers' lives, according to the Indian army
The border between #India 🇮🇳 and #China 🇨🇳 where the recent clashes took place, is known as the 'Line of Actual Control'

It was established following a war between the two countries in 1962 that resulted in an uneasy truce

France 24's @MandakiniGahlot tells us more ⤵️
#India 🇮🇳 said no shots were fired during the clash, but #China 🇨🇳 has accused Indian forces of carrying out “provocative attacks” on its troops

Experts say the countries are unlikely to head into a war, but that easing tensions will be difficult
