During de-escalation process in Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place last night with casualties. The loss of lives on Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers.

 Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation, the Army said. Indian and Chinese troops have been engaged since May 5 following a violent clash in Pangong Tso.
