印度国防部发言人: “那边的森林和高山上没有标注出来的边境线，所以人们很容易走到这边来或者走到那边去。所以他们（失踪的5人）很可能是走过去了”
India spokesperson: No clear marking along the mountainous and forest border, thus making it easy for anyone walking to cross over(the border).

【】中国军网9月7日电 中国人民解放军西部战区新闻发言人张水利大校就印军再次非法越线挑衅发表谈话指出，9月7日，印军非法越线进入中印边境西段班公湖南岸神炮山地域。印军在行动中悍然对前出交涉的中国边防部队巡逻人员鸣枪威胁，中国边防部队被迫采取应对措施稳控现地局势。印方行径严重违反中印双方有关协议协定，推高地区紧张局势，极易造成误解误判，是严重的军事挑衅行为，性质非常恶劣。我们要求印方立即停止危险行动，立即撤回越线人员，严格约束一线部队，严肃查处鸣枪挑衅人员，确保不再发生类似事件。战区部队将坚决履行职责使命，坚决捍卫国家领土主权。

[ ] China Military Network, September 7th. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s Western Theater Press Spokesperson, Colonel Zhang Shuili, said in a statement on the Indian Army’s illegal cross-line provocations again. On September 7, the Indian army illegally crossed the line and entered the Shenpaoshan area on the south bank of Pangong Lake in the western section of the Sino-Indian border. During the operation, the Indian army blatantly fired threats to the patrol personnel of the Chinese border guards who had made representations, and the Chinese border guards were forced to take countermeasures to stabilize the situation on the ground. India’s actions seriously violated the relevant agreements and agreements between China and India, pushing up regional tensions and easily causing misunderstandings and misjudgments. They are serious military provocations and are of very bad nature. We request the Indian side to immediately stop dangerous actions, immediately withdraw cross-line personnel, strictly restrain front-line troops, and strictly investigate and punish personnel who fired shots to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again. Theater troops will resolutely perform their duties and missions and resolutely defend national territorial sovereignty.
Guys from the Indian side are friggin nuts!
Does India want to start a war? If anything, upping the ante from here only benefits China considering it has enormous materiale advantage over India, whether it be fire arms, artillery, or any possible thing you can think of. I'm afraid India is playing with fire here.
