India and China
20 Indian soldiers (along with an unidentified number of Chinese soldiers) were killed and dozens more were captured by the Chinese military after a border dispute. The Galwan Valley, an area high on the Himalayas, has been contested by both countries for decades. According to both country's border code, the soldiers are not allowed to use guns - therefore - the soldiers brawled using fists and clubs.
