Indian and Chinese troops clashed in Arunachal Pradesh recently, Indian media reported on Monday.
According to reports, some Indian soldiers sustained injuries in the skirmish. There are no reports of any casualties.
Citing military sources, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported that the incident took place on December 9.
"Indian and Chinese troops face-off along LAC in Tawang on Dec 9 led to minor injuries to few personnel on both sides," the PTI tweeted.
A clash occurred between the two sides along the disputed zone of the Line of Actual Control in the hill states.
There had been face-offs in the area in the past too, -- one major being in October 2021 at Yangtse, 35 km northeast of Tawang.
The Chinese attempt to get access to the top of 17,000 feet peak was thwarted and the area is now under snow and will remain so till March.
This is the first physical skirmish between the two armies since August 2020 near Rinchen La in eastern Ladakh. (with inputs from Agencies)
