  • Tension A score of Indian soldiers die in a confrontation with Chinese soldiers in the Himalayas

The Indian Army confirmed on Monday that last week there was a

"minor confrontation"

between Indian and Chinese troops on the de facto border between the two countries in Sikkim, in northern India, with no casualties.

"We clarified that there was a minor confrontation in the Naku area, in the north of Sikkim, on January 20, and it was resolved by local commanders in accordance with established protocols," the Army said in a statement.

The Army's clarification came after the Indian agency ANI reported, without revealing its sources, that last week there had been a "physical brawl" in Sikkim between Indian and Chinese troops

with "wounded on both sides

.

"

However, the Indian Army asked in the statement to avoid "exaggerations" regarding what happened.

The incident in Sikkim follows the worst border clash in 45 years between India and China, which occurred last June in the Galwan Valley,

in the western Himalayas

, in which at least 20 Indian soldiers were killed and 76 were injured.

Both countries reacted to the confrontation by sending troops to the current line of control or LAC, a situation that increases the risk of new clashes and that both New Delhi and Beijing have been trying to defuse for months through diplomatic channels.

However,

the powers have repeatedly accused each other of new military actions and violations

on the territory while the dialogue continues, with the last meeting yesterday.

The growing tensions with China prompted the signing of a satellite data exchange agreement between the United States and India in late October, which will allow New Delhi to obtain greater precision for the handling of its missiles or drones.

But the momentum of the military alliance between the United States and India against China is not limited to land borders, but

both countries also try to counter the influence of Beijing

in the Indian Ocean, in neighboring nations such as Sri Lanka or the Maldives.
