On Tuesday, the Indian army said 20 of its soldiers had been killed in a "violent face-off" along the Himalayan frontier, which resulted in "casualties on both sides". Four other Indian soldiers are reported to be in critical condition.
China's defence ministry confirmed late on Tuesday that there had been casualties, without giving a number, while its state media stayed relatively quiet on the skirmish, the most violent in decades.
The soldiers threw punches and stones at each other, with Chinese troops allegedly attacking their Indian counterparts with rods and nail-studded clubs during the fight that lasted more than six hours, India's Hindustan Times newspaper reported on Wednesday.
