'Shots fired' over India and China border dispute

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

China claimed on Tuesday that Indian soldiers had opened fire to ward off a unit patrolling in a contested mountainous region.

But India, officially, denied they fired shots, countering that China had used their guns to intimidate Indian forces.

Local media outlets reported that the Indian soldiers had been "beaten to death".
