The incident took place late on Monday night in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh, where the two sides have been in a stand-off for the past few weeks
Military representatives of both sides were meeting to defuse the tension, according to an official statement released in New Delhi.
“Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation,’’ Anand said. The deaths are believed to be the first in a confrontation between the two Asian neighbours since 1975 when four Indian soldiers died when a patrol was ambushed in the north-eastern state of Aunachal Pradesh, Indian media reported.
