'Violent face-off' on disputed Himalayan border?

The Indian Army says at least three of its soldiers, including a senior officer, have been killed in a clash with Chinese forces along a disputed border in the Himalayas. China has accused India of a 'provocation' and one Chinese news outlet has said China also suffered casualties. The incident occurred high in the Himalayas in the Galwan Valley. The two sides had been massing soldiers in the region for weeks. Although tensions between the two sides have been building over the last month, this is the first incident in which soldiers have been killed in more than four decades.
