A skirmish thing happened a couple years back between India and China where a bunch of soldiers on both sides had a fight and bludgeoned and stabbed each other to death over some incitement or another. I think they weren’t allowed to shoot each other because then it counts as war or something so instead it was sticks and stones pushing back maybe kilometres into contested Chinese territory and it was kinda like ‘yeaaaah what are you gonna do? No big deal.’
