An Indian surveillance drone crashed in Ladakh, where the militaries of India and China have been engaged in a standoff position since May 2020.

Following the crash, all civil flights have been suspended, news agency IANS reported.

The drone was provided by DRDO to Indian Army for surveillance at high-altitude areas of Lines of Actual Control (LAC).

The eastern Ladakh border standoff erupted on May 5, 2020, following a violent clash in the Pangong lake area. Both sides gradually enhanced their deployment by rushing in tens of thousands of soldiers and heavy weaponry.

The Indian and Chinese armies on September 8, 2022, announced that they have kicked off the disengagement process from the PP-15, in a significant forward movement in the stalled process to pull-out troops from the remaining friction points in the region.

India has been consistently maintaining that peace and tranquillity along the LAC were key for the overall development of the bilateral ties.

Earlier, Indian Army Chief General Manoj Pande has said that the situation in the region is “stable but unpredictable”. General Pande said that there is a need to very carefully calibrate “our actions on Line of Actual Control (LAC) to be able to safeguard our interests and sensitivities”. “We all know what the Chinese say and what they do is quite different. It is also a part of their nature and character. We need to focus on their actions rather than what is on their texts or scripts or their articulation,” he was quoted as saying by the news agency ANI.
