China on Monday laid the blame at India's door for an altercation along their border in the western Himalayas involving soldiers from both nations.
Their troops have meanwhile been embroiled in an eight-week standoff on the Doklam plateau in another part of the remote Himalayan region near their disputed frontier.
Last week, a source in New Delhi, who had been briefed on the military situation on the border, said soldiers foiled a bid by a group of Chinese troops to enter Indian territory in Ladakh, near Pangong Lake.
