LAC situation on razor’s edge. Indian troops fired warning shots at advancing PLA troops, alleges China’s Western Theatre Command. India yet to issue any statement but sources say Chinese tried to move towards the Mukhpari peak occupied by India

Noticing the movement, Indian soldiers fired warning shots in the air forcing the Chinese to retreat. Indian Army troops had climbed to the entire ridgeline from South Bank of Pangong Tso to Richin La. Mukhpari is North of Rezang La on 29-30 Aug. Map below for reference

After the Galwan incident India has decided not to take any chances or trust the Chinese who keep engaging in talks but show aggression on ground. On 30th August too after occupying the ridge line, India had told the Chinese that they will be fired at if troops tried to come up

Spare a thought for commanders and soldiers on the ground. Difficult terrain, harsh weather, faced with the enemy barely 300-400 metres away. Its a tinder box out there. One small tactical incident going out hand will have strategic ramifications.
