In Pictures: India-US Military Exercise Yudh Abhyas Underway On Border With China In Uttarakhand

The eighteenth edition of India-US joint military exercise Yudh Abhyas is currently underway in Uttarakhand, around 100 kilometres from the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China.

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Defence said that US Army soldiers of the 2nd Brigade of the 11th Airborne Division and Indian Army soldiers from the Assam Regiment would be participating in the exercise.

"I don't understand the reference to third-party interference. India-US exercise is totally different and I don't know what colour has been given to that," the spokesperson of India's External Affairs Ministry said in response.
