Along the China-Indian border, particularly between the disputed Pangong Lake in Ladakh and China's Tibet Autonomous Region and along the boundary between Sikkim and the Tibet Autonomous Region, Chinese and Indian forces began engaging in aggressive clashes, face-offs, and skirmishes on May 5, 2020.

Twenty Indian soldiers and an unknown number of Chinese military personnel were killed in an armed conflict in the Galwan Valley region in June 2020.

There were also other conflicts along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

The local Shi'ite community operated and used the public transportation vans, he added. The Shiite Muslim Hazara community, a minority Muslim sect in Afghanistan, is often attacked by armed groups, including the Islamic State.
