China appears to have rebuilt and expanded a military camp in the Himalayas that was the site of a deadly border clash with India, satellite images show.
The images, from the U.S. satellite operator Maxar Technologies, were taken Monday, a week after what has been described as hand-to-hand fighting with sticks and clubs left at least 20 Indian troops dead.
"The small outpost ... has grown hugely in size," Nathan Ruser, a researcher at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute who first shared the images,At least one analyst, however, cast doubt on what the images showed. China said this week that India was entirely to blame for the clash after Indian troops crossed the LAC in violation of an earlier agreement.
China has been building up forces in the region for more than a month, the ministry said: "At the heart of the matter is that since early May, the Chinese side has been amassing a large contingent of troops and armaments along the LAC."
