Three Indian soldiers, including an Army officer, were killed in a clash in the Galwan Valley on the border between India and China. Army officer Colonel Santosh Babu who lost his life in the attack belongs to Suryapet of Telangana. Army officials have informed family members of this.

It is well known that there has been a confrontation between Indian and China soldiers in the Ladakh region over the past few weeks. Even though the top military officials of the two sides have discussed the issue, the tension has not subsided.

Moreover, on Monday night, soldiers from both countries attacked each other with stones, which erupted tension. In the fight, India has lost one army officer and two other jawans and three Chinese soldiers have also lost their lives. The Indian Army alleges that Chinese soldiers were the first to provoke Indian soldiers.
