This is not the first time when Indian and Chinese soldiers have faced off each other along the border.

In September 2019, a scuffle broke out between Indian and Chinese soldiers on the bank of the Pangong Tso Lake in eastern Ladakh but the matter was resolved through talks between the two militaries.

The Indian and Chinese troops had exchanged blows with each other last time in August 2017 near Pangong Lake in Ladakh.
