Rockets and missiles rained down on China near the Indian border

New Delhi, 18 October 2020, Sunday

Near the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh, China has conducted war games to exert psychological pressure on India.

The Times, a Chinese state-run newspaper, claimed that 90 percent of the firearms used new types of weapons. The Global Times also released a video showing the Chinese military using drones to attack in the dark. At the same time, the Chinese army is destroying an entire mountainous area with the help of rockets.

China also used guided missiles in the exercise. Chinese artillery also fired shells. PLA troops also practiced shoulder-launched missiles.

However, it is believed that the exercise was carried out by China to put pressure on India at a time when talks are underway between China and India, as no agreement has been reached between the two countries even after several rounds of talks. S Jaishankar said that China had violated earlier agreements by deploying large numbers of troops on the border.
