DW World · world

Indian authorities have confirmed a new border "face-off" between Indian and Chinese troops in Arunachal Pradesh, raising concerns about the fragile thaw in relations. Indo-Tibetan Border Police Director General Shatrujeet Kapur stated that confrontations occurred at several locations along the de facto border and continue. This incident brings renewed attention to the Himalayan frontier, which has seen deadly clashes before, including a 2020 incident that resulted in casualties on both sides. The border remains a point of contention, with China not recognizing the McMahon Line.
