There was a new clash between Indian and Chinese forces at the Line of Actual Control.

The Indian Amy said that China's People's Liberalization Army fired rounds in the air to intimidate the Indian troops on September 7, 2020.

Amid the ongoing tensions between Indian and China at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, China has deployed its soldiers in large numbers near the LAC. There are reports of a fresh clash between the Indian Army and the Chinese PLA. It is also added that the shots were fired for the first time in 45 years on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) as tensions rose when Chinese troops approached the newly established forward position of the Indian Army at Mukhpari heights in the Chushul sub-sector of eastern Ladakh. The incident was short of an exchange of fires, and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was aggressive with assault rifles and medieval weapons like spears and machetes to displace the Indian soldiers from the Mukhpari height, which had led to another faceoff situation in the area.
