I caught on CNN (amazingly enough, considering how much tv I see
anymore)
the other morning here (sunday morning?) a 5 minute piece on the first
skirmish between the Aussies and the Indos. They mostly just said that
the Aussies were on their (the Aussie) side of the border by X hundred
meters and someone on the the Indos side opened fire on the Aussies, and
how after the skirmish was concluded the Aussie and Indo commanders got
together and agreed that the Aussies were on their (the Aussie) side of
the border.
