India sent more soldiers to the disputed border region with China on Wednesday following the deadly hand-to-hand brawl that saw 20 Indian solders killed. In the fighting on June 15, that involved rocks and nail-studded batons, 20 Indian soldiers were killed. According to Indian military sources, Chinese troops ambushed Indian soldiers and forced them down a ridge where they had gone to remove a Chinese 'encroachment'. China has in turn accused Indian soldiers of twice crossing the Line of Actual Control, the unofficial boundary, provoking its troops. China has not disclosed how many casualties it suffered, though an Indian minister has said around 40 Chinese soldiers may have been killed.
