Twenty Indian Army soldiers were killed due to a violent face-off between Indian and Chinese troops at the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh's Galwan Valley on Monday night.

Earlier it was reported that one Indian Army officer and two jawans were killed in action.

However, by late Tuesday evening, the Indian Army updated the figure to 20, saying that 17 others who sustained injuries during the clash had succumbed to death.

As per news agency ANI, 43 soldiers of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) were also killed as a result of the violent face-off.

"Indian Army is firmly committed to protecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the nation," the Indian Army statement said.

The over five-week-long stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops turned violent on Monday night, inflicting casualties on both sides.

The Indian Army has been fiercely objecting to the transgressions and demanded their immediate withdrawal for the restoration of peace and tranquillity in the area. »
