The Indian Army has announced that there was a brief engagement between Indian and Chinese armed forces in Tawang area, Arunanchal Predesh. About 300 Chinese soldiers intruded into Arunanchal Pradesh, a province of India. They were pushed back into China and in the skirmishes, six Indian soldiers were injured. Even a larger number of Chinese soldiers may have suffered during the cold weather. But there is, as yet, no official information from China.
Tawang area is critical for the defense of India and its eastern areas.
At the snow-bound border, the wars take place at slow motion and it is quite possible that this brief encounter may be a portent of something bigger.
