Indian army: It was Chinese troops who fired in the air in border stand-off

China and India shifted the blame on September 8 after the first shots in decades were fired across a flashpoint Himalayan border, intensifying a months-long standoff between the nuclear-armed neighbours that has already claimed at least 20 lives. - AFP

NEW DELHI, Sept 8 (Reuters): India on Tuesday rejected Chinese allegations of violating border agreements and accused Chinese troops of firing in the air during a face-off on their tense de facto border.

"It is the PLA that has been blatantly violating agreements and carrying out aggressive manoeuvres, while engagement at military, diplomatic and political level is in progress," the Indian army said in a statement.
