Two Chinese helicopters on September 27 crossed the Line of Actual Control (LAC)- the de-facto border between China and India, sources told ANI.
The choppers remained in the territory for about 10 minutes near Ladakh trig heights also known as Trade junction, which connects Ladakh with Tibet.
Recently, a Pakistani chopper violated Indian airspace along the LAC in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu-based Army PRO Lt Col Devender Anand said the helicopter violated the airspace around 12:10 pm.
He said the helicopter came closer to the LoC and passed through the area. “It didn’t come deep inside as many are claiming. But it is an air violation,” he added.
