India has deployed 10,000 troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to guard the sensitive border region connected to China. In response, China has stated that India's increased border deployments won't ease tensions between the two nations.
The move signals India's heightened sensitivity to security concerns following a deadly clash in 2020 that resulted in the loss of at least 20 Indian soldiers. In response to escalating tensions, both India and China have since enhanced their military presence, upgrading infrastructure, and deploying additional troops, missiles, and aircraft along the contentious border.
