Amid border tensions with India, Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Army recently received delivery of a batch of new weapons including its advanced vehicle-mounted howitzer, the PCL-181, when its troops were conducting exercises in northwestern China, a Chinese government mouthpiece said on Thursday. Indian and Chinese troops have been engaged in a bitter face-off in eastern Ladakh along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) for over a month. The result of the June 6 talks was seen after Chinese troops moved back by about 2.5 kilometres along the LAC, government sources in New Delhi said on Tuesday. Troops of the two countries have disengaged on the ground at multiple locations in eastern Ladakh. According to sources, troops and vehicles moved back by about 2.5 Kms by Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Galwan Area, Patrolling Point 15 and Hot Springs area.
