This is the more recent one. There was a deadlier one sometime ago. No shots are fired though, since both nuclear armed countries are trying to avoid a full war. Generally, the fights are hand-to-hand, with rocks, and rifle butts.
China had entered into Indian territory and set up tents. Both sides later agreed to withdraw to status quo territories. Except China didn't keep its word (surprise, surprise), and came back ready to provoke a fight. When an Indian army team went there to enquire why the agreement was not being honoured, a Chinese soldier pushed a Colonel of the Indian Army. Indian soldiers went beserk seeing their unit commander (who's like a dad to troops on the battlefield) disrespected, destroyed the Chinese post, and forcibly escorted the Chinese soldiers back over the border.
A second, larger group of Chinese soldiers was waiting there with metal spiked clubs and barbed-wire wrapped rods and large stones. They attacked. 36 Indians vs 250+ Chinese inside Chinese territory. Later reinforcements from both sides came in. Totally 20 Indians and 43 Chinese died (Chinese numbers are reported, since Xi did not officially acknowledge their deaths).
Before coming back, as a warning, the Indian side smashed an embankment the Chinese had built across a river flowing into India.

Indians never liked them since they occupied Indian territory in the 60s (thanks to our traitor of a Prime Minister at the time). But after this recent stunt they pulled on the border and after coronavirus, anti-China sentiment is at an all time high.
