In the Galwan valley, the Indian Army lost its officer and two soldiers lost their lives after a violent face-off between the Chinese forces.
After the initial statement, the Army rectified the statement and said that there were casualties on both sides. The Army said in the statement,
“During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties on both sides. The loss of lives on the 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.”
Meanwhile, the Chinese establishment accused India of crossing the border and attacking the Chinese forces. As per the news agency, Beijing urged India to strictly restrain its frontline troops from crossing the border or taking any unilateral action that may complicate the border situation.
This is unprecedented because the last deaths at the line of actual control were in 1975 when the Indian patrol was violated by the Chinese forces. Before that, a violent face-off had taken place in 1968 in Nathu La.
Since the news came in, Twitter has been enraged against China particularly after it has the accusations of causing the pandemic. Here are some of the tweets.
Disgraceful. In order to divert attention away from its responsibility for the global pandemic, China deliberately escalated an incident over territory which is internationally recognized as Indian, killing an Indian Army officer and two Indian soldiers. https://t.co/Lq1nWPOD77

Any Chinese product you have purchased strengthens the Chinese Army, not the Indian Army, "DON'T BUY & SELL" Chinese products further, Take a compilation to give "ONE RIGHT STEP TO OUR COUNTRY & ONE POWER TO OUR ARMY"
