Indian, Chinese Soldiers Face-Off Along Sikkim Border; Matter Later Resolved: Report
India-China border.
Several India and China soldiers headed to an intense face-off along the border of the two countries in north Sikkim on Saturday, Hindustan Times reported attributing two senior officials on the condition of anonymity.
It was reported that the scuffle between the two forces took place near the Naku La pass (ahead of Muguthang), at a height over 5,000 metres above sea level.
The confrontation was so intense that soldiers at both sides suffered many injuries as they exchanged bows.
“Four Indian soldiers and seven Chinese troops suffered injuries during the confrontation that involved around 150 soldiers,” said the second officer cited above, while also saying that the matter was later resolved locally.
However, according to the HT report, officials at the Army Headquarters said they had no knowledge of any such face-off.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
