"The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers," the statement said. "Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation". Thousands of soldiers from the two countries, backed by armoured trucks and artillery, have been facing off just a few hundred meters apart for more than a month in the Ladakh region near Tibet. Army officers and diplomats have held a series of meetings to try to end the impasse, with no breakthrough.Indian authorities have officially maintained near-total silence on the issues related to the confrontation, and it was not immediately clear how the Indian soldiers died.
China has sought to downplay the confrontation while saying the two sides were communicating through both their front-line military units and their respective embassies to resolve issues.

Footage captures rogue US militia shooting at protesters as they tear down a statueA man was shot and wounded during a protest near a museum in New Mexico where demonstrators were reported to be trying to tear down a sculpture of a 16th-century Spanish conquistador. The guy was getting attacked by a violent mob and hit with skateboards before he fired in self defence after trying to flee and was chased down. This is horrendous reporting. The shooter violently assaulted multiple women and was chased off before he opened fire into a crowd. Stop protecting war criminals, they shouldn't be revered.
