India said Thursday it was using diplomatic channels with China to de-escalate a military standoff in a remote Himalayan border region where 20 Indian soldiers were killed this week.
Indian news reports said Thursday that 76 Indian soldiers were hospitalized with injuries following the clash. All are in stable condition, according to New Delhi Television.
Defense analyst Ajai Shukla tweeted a photo of rods studded with nails that were purportedly used by Chinese troops. In the Indian Himalayan city of McLeod Ganj, the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile, demonstrators shouted anti-China slogans and burned the Chinese flag. But a broader boycott could backfire for India if China chose to retaliate by banning exports of raw materials used by India’s pharmaceutical industry.
The action has taken place along a remote stretch of the 3,380-kilometer “Line of Actual Control” — the border established following a war between India and China in 1962 that resulted in an uneasy truce.
