China helped Pakistan with 'live inputs' in conflict with India, Indian Army deputy chief says

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -China gave Islamabad "live inputs" on key Indian positions during Pakistan's deadly conflict with its neighbour in May, the deputy chief of India's army said on Friday, calling for urgent upgrades to the country's air defence systems. The nuclear-armed rivals used missiles, drones and artillery fire during the four-day fighting - their worst in decades - triggered by an April attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir that New Delhi blamed on Islamabad, before agreeing to a ceasefire.
