The Indian military has denied China's allegations of firing on the LAC. India has accused China of firing in the air near the Indian military presence. "China is misleading its country and the world with its statements," the military said in a statement. The army has not crossed the Line of Control (LoC) under any circumstances, nor has it opened fire, nor has it taken any aggressive action.
