| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On the night of 15 June 2020, Sino-Indian tensions flared into fighting
along the disputed border in the region known as the Galwan Valley. The
fighting led to the first casualties along the border in 45 years. However,
no one on either side fired a single shot.1
Instead, soldiers threw rocks and used
wooden clubs wrapped in barbed wire to attack one another. Two of the most
powerful armies in the world, both of which possess nuclear weapons, clashed
with one another using sticks and stones |
