(SRINAGAR, India) — At least three Indian soldiers, including a senior army officer, were killed in a confrontation with Chinese troops along their disputed frontier high in the Himalayas where thousands of soldiers on both sides have been facing off for over a month, the Indian army said Tuesday. The incident is the first confrontation between the two Asian giants in which soldiers have died since 1975. The Indian army said in a statement that a “violent faceoff” took place in Galwan valley in the Ladakh region on Monday night “with casualties on both sides.” “The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers,” the statement said.
