At least 20 Indian army soldiers were martyred on the night of June 15 during clashes with the Chinese army in Galwan Valley, Ladakh. On June 17, “the Indian army confirmed that 17 of those who died were critically injured in the line of duty at the stand-off location and exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain,” reported BBC<\/a>. The next day, China released 10 Indian soldiers<\/a> in their custody.<\/p>\n

A Twitter user Eva Zheng \u90d1\u6021\u658c \u0639\u0627\u0626\u0634\u0629 (@evazhengll) claiming to be a Chinese national shared a video<\/a> of hyperbaric oxygen treatment given to soldiers. The user claimed that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) suffered zero deaths and five injuries because Chinese soldiers were saved with this treatment. She further stated that 10 Indian troops were assisted with “hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber in a PLA post”. The user added that 17 Indian soldiers, who were left overnight without oxygen in sub-zero temperature, lost their lives in delayed rescue efforts.<\/p>\n
