3) One #IndianArmy CO (Commanding Officer) was reportedly killed in the clashes last night.

Unconfirmed reports that the #Srinagar to #Ladakh highway is closed to civil transportation.
Military movements only.

This is a bad sign.

4) #Indian PM Modi is being briefed by #India’s Defence Minister @rajnathsingh on the Galwan Valley clashes & India’s External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar is also meeting with Modi.

Waiting for official announcements. Many rumors that the clashes were quite big, POWs, etc.

5) According to the Chinese report below, more clashes today between #Indian & #Chinese troops.

Official news from the Indian side are badly needed.

There are lots of rumors & speculation: Indian soldiers captured, most released. Ongoing negotiations. https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1272867549005246464?s=20

6) Colonel Zhang Shuili from China’s Western Theater Command has accused #India of “crossing into” #Chinese territory.

“The sovereignty of the Galwan Valley region has always belonged to #China", he said.

Yeah of course, since ancient times..... Lies & more lies.

7) I don't want to dwell too much on unconfirmed reports, but I'm hearing from many army sources that #PLA casualties are around 45-50 killed, including a CO.

Also hearing that at least 20 Indian troops are dead, mostly after falling into the ravines. 3 killed from a gunfight.

9) The first official statement from the #Indian Govt on the #India #China clashes:

Both sides suffered casualties after an attempt by the #Chinese side to unilaterally change the status quo.

Casualties could have been avoided if the Chinese had followed the agreements......

The #Chinese side avoids releasing the number of #PLA casualties in the clash with #Indian troops under the excuse of wanting to avoid stoking the public mood & as goodwill from Beijing.

Translation: They got heavy casualties... https://twitter.com/HuXijin_GT/status/1272901941140561924?s=20

14) A good description from @palkisu: 20 #Indian soldiers have been killed in action in the #Galwan valley.

#China lied about disengagement. It built a temporary structure. The Indian side went to demolish it.

#China fought and suffered casualties too. No confirmed figure yet

15) The tally according to multiple good sources seems to be 20 killed on the #Indian side & 43 on the #Chinese side.

The casualties for Indian & Chinese forces could increase as critically injured servicemen lose their lives. Let's hope for the best
