Indian Army troops (Doordarshan)
The Indian Army has captured an important Chinese military camp in the surrounding hills of the Pangong Tso lake, The Telegraph has reported.
This military action by India is said to have taken place on the early morning of Monday (31 August).
As per the report, this action by India was in direct retaliation to China's unprovoked military aggression wherein it sent 500 of its troops to try and cross into Spanggur - which is a narrow valley near Chushul.
An alert Indian Army engaged the Chinese forces for three hours in hand to hand combat following which the PLA was repelled.
The report cites its source as saying that the Indian troops have now opened a new front by pushing back the Chinese and capturing territory near Chushul.
This report comes on the heels of a revelation that the Indian Army has gained a big advantage over the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) by successfully beating it to occupy a strategic height at the southern region of the Pangong Tso lake.
