On the morning of June 16, the Army had initially said that an officer and two soldiers were killed in the violent face-off with China in the Galwan Valley. But by the evening, the Army revised the figure to 20 and said that 17 others, who were critically injured in the line of duty and exposed to sub-zero temperatures at the standoff location, succumbed to their injuries. This is the first deadly clash in the border area between India and China in 45 years.

A Chinese commanding officer was among those killed in the June 15 clash in eastern Ladakh, China's army confirmed during military talks with India at Galwan, according to sources.
