Indians hold funerals for soldiers killed at China border, burn portraits of Xi

Indians burned portraits of Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday as families cremated some of the 20 soldiers killed in hand-to-hand fighting with Chinese troops in a disputed mountainous border region. Troops remained on alert at the Galwan Valley in the Ladakh region of the western Himalayas three days after the clashes, in which India said China had also suffered casualties. China has not given details of deaths or injuries among its troops.
