The Doklam standoff in 2017 was a 73-day military confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in the disputed Doklam region claimed by both Bhutan and China. The conflict reportedly began after Chinese troops attempted to construct a road in the disputed area, prompting India to intervene in support of Bhutan. Several soldiers from both sides were injured during the standoff, raising concerns about a wider conflict before both sides agreed to disengage following diplomatic talks.
