The Indian military on Monday accused China of carrying out "provocative" movements on their contested Himalayan border near where 20 Indian troops were killed in a battle in June. A defence ministry statement said the incidents happened in eastern Ladakh on Saturday night but did not indicate whether there was a new clash. Chinese People's Liberation Army troops "carried out provocative military movements to change the status quo" at the border, it said. It added the two sides were holding military talks on Monday.

"Indian troops pre-empted this PLA activity on the southern bank of Pangong Tso Lake, undertook measures to strengthen our positions and thwart Chinese intentions to unilaterally change facts on ground," said the ministry. "A brigade commander level flag meeting is in progress at Chushul to resolve the issues."
