India-China Border Standoff LIVE Updates: At least 20 Indian Army personnel were killed in violent face-off in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, news agency ANI quoted government sources as saying. The Ministry of External Affairs has said that both China and India suffered casualties as Beijing tried to unilaterally change status quo and “departed from the consensus to respect the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Galwan Valley”.
External affairs minister S Jaishankar earlier met Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the Indian Army’s standoff with Chinese troops in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley saw violent escalation. A Commanding Officer and two jawans were killed in the Monday night faceoff, the army said in a statement, adding that China too suffered casualties. Earlier, Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat and Chief of Army Staff General MM Naravane met defence minister Rajnath Singh.
