Earlier the PLA emptied the shores of finger four areas but continued building the infrastructure between fifth and eight fingers whose fifth finger’s shore was later informed to possess a mix of more than 20 armour protected vehicles and heavy military vehicles, additional Chinese tents and camouflaged material was also visible on finger five’s shores.
The PLA’s western theatre command earlier issued a statement accusing the Indian armed forces of crossing the LAC. To which the Indian army replied by releasing a statement which refused Chinese statement and said “at no stage has the Indian Army transgressed across the LAC or resorted to use of any aggressive means, including firing”.
