Indian border guards have said they frustrated an attempt by Chinese soldiers to enter the Indian territory in two areas - Finger Four and Finger Five - twice between 6 am and 9 am on Tuesday. But on both the occasions, their attempts were thwarted by alert Indian troops.

After Chinese troopers found their path blocked by Indian soldiers who formed a human chain, they began hurling stones, prompting a swift retaliation by Indian border guards.

Personnel from both sides received minor injuries and the situation was brought under control after the customary banner drill under which both sides hold banners before stepping back to their respective positions.

China however today said it is not aware of the reports of People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers entering the Indian territory along the banks of the Pangong lake in Ladakh, as alleged by India.

India has claimed that PLA soldiers entered India along the banks of the famous lake in Ladakh, resulting in stone-pelting and clashes that caused minor injuries to people on both sides.
