Claim: Image of a rocket launch attack by China in which 158 Indian soldiers were killed.
Fact-check: '158 Indian soldiers killed in a rocket launch attack by China' is fake news - FACTLY
Verdict: there are no news reports that 158 indian soldiers were killed in a rocket launch attack by china in sikkim during the recent border tensions between the two countries. also, when the same image went viral in 2017 with the same claim, both indian and chinese governments had categorically denied those reports. so, the claim is false.
