China has accused Indian troops of a "deliberate provocation" in its first official comments on Monday's deadly clash at a disputed Himalayan border.
Foreign ministry spokesman Lijian Zhao said the troops had crossed into Chinese territory and attacked, triggering "fierce physical conflicts".
However he did not give details of any Chinese casualties.
On Friday Indian PM Narendra Modi said no foreign soldiers had crossed India's borders and no territory had been lost.
Mr Modi vowed that India would defend its border with military force if necessary.

It sounds to me more like the Chinese set up a baited ambush.
The Chinese set up a tent in a disputedarea, then left. The Indians went to take it down. While the Indians were taking down the tent a bunch of Chinese troops armed with clubs and bamboo branches with nails in them came to attack the Indians.
