The incident happened near Shenpao mountain near the south bank of Pangong Tso (Lake) on Monday. China issued a statement that the Indian army "blatantly fired threats" to the patrol personnel of the Chinese border guards who had made representations, and the Chinese border guards were forced to take "countermeasures to stabilise the situation on the ground". "India's actions seriously violated the relevant agreements and agreements between China and India, pushing up regional tensions and easily causing misunderstandings and misjudgments," China stated. The statement said it is serious military provocations and are of very bad nature. "We request the Indian side to immediately stop dangerous actions, immediately withdraw cross-line personnel, strictly restrain front-line troops, and strictly investigate and punish personnel who fired shots to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again," said Chinese People's Liberation Army's Western Theater Command, Colonel Zhang Shuili in a statement. Sources in Indian Army to stated that China resorted to firing in air to scare their patrol. The Indian Army's official statement is yet to come. India and China are engaged in around four-month-long standoff at the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh. Despite several levels of dialogue, there has not been any breakthrough and the deadlock continues. On June 15, as many as 20 Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese troops were killed in a violent clash in the Galwan Valley.

The Indian Army, on the other hand, contests this statement with its own. "While India is committed to disengagement &amp; de-escalating situation on the LAC, China continues to undertake provocative activities to escalate. At no stage has the Indian Army transgressed across the LAC or resorted to use of any aggressive means, including firing," it said. According to them, it was the PLA who look the first shot and fired a few rounds in the air to order to intimidate the Indian side. "However, despite the grave provocation, own troops exercised great restraint and behaved in a mature and responsible manner," said the Indian Army. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also called out China Daily for publishing misinformation. China's state run publication claimed that India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval asserted that "the army is ready for a long-drawn standoff with China." "These reports are completely false and are not based in facts," the MEA said in a statement.

Jaishankar will be travelling to Moscow for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) foreign ministers’ meet between September 9 to 11. He acknowledged the current situation along the border as “very serious” and calls for “very, very deep conversations” at a “political level”.
