DELHI/BEIJING : India and China have accused each other of firing in the air during a new confrontation on their border in the western Himalayas, in a further escalation of military tension between the nuclear-armed nations.
Hundreds of troops are in eyeball-to-eyeball proximity along the remote border, which erupted in a clash in June that killed 20 Indian soldiers in hand-to-hand fighting. On Monday night, troops of the People's Liberation Army attempted to close in on a forward Indian position at the Line of Actual Control, or the de factor border.
The Indian army said yesterday:"And when dissuaded by own , PLA troops fired a few rounds in the air in an attempt to intimidate own troops."However, the Chinese said the Indians had breached the informal border.
