The Indian government said that it “preempted” the movement of China’s People’s Liberation Army along the Pangong Tso Lake in the Ladakh region of the Himalayas and prevented Beijing from violating the agreed-upon border between the two countries, during a new standoff.

While the Chinese side blamed Indian troops for violating the border agreements and for escalating tensions overnight on Aug. 29–30, India’s defense ministry pointed to the PLA’s “provocative military movements.”
