China says Indian troops have illegally fired "provocative shots" at Chinese troops patrolling the disputed border between the two countries.
A Chinese military spokesman said Chinese troops had to retaliate, but did not say what.
On the other hand, Indian officials have confirmed the firing of Chinese troops on the Line of Actual Control (LAC), alleging that China is openly violating agreements and its troops are involved in offensive operations on the border.
The Indian military said in a statement that Chinese troops were trying to advance on the LAC on Monday in an area bordering India. "When our soldiers chased them, they tried to intimidate our soldiers by firing in the air."
Delhi said that despite this provocative move, the Indian troops showed professionalism and responsibility.
