China lodged stern representations with India over its provocative actions towards Chinese soldiers and strongly opposed to illegal activities in the border areas, said Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian at a regular press conference on Tuesday in Beijing.

The Indian Army said on Tuesday that an Indian officer and two soldiers were killed in a "violent faceoff" with Chinese troops on the contested border.

Asked about the casualties, Zhao said that he was not aware of the incident on the border with India, adding that the Indian forces seriously violated the consensus reached between the two sides.
