ANI adds that an increased Chinese chopper activity was reported along the LAC in a bid to airlift casualties suffered by them during the face-off.
As per national security analyst Nitin Gokhale this violent clash was a result of Chinese troops coming back into Indian territory after initially agreeing to disengage.
Earlier in the day three casualties on the Indian side were confirmed when the news first broke of the violent clash with China. The three have now been identified as Colonel B Santosh Babu, Havildar Palani and Sepoy Ojha.
This is the first time killing have taken place at the India-China border since 1975 when the Chinese shot dead four Assam rifle troopers.
