The brawls themselves have been going on for years, here's a video from 2017 as an example. Back in May this year some people did get injured, but it was still fists and stones.
However, deaths are a new thing.
Guardian has a pretty good article about this, well worth reading the whole thing.

fighting broke out at dusk on Monday when an Indian patrol unexpectedly encountered Chinese forces on a narrow ridge while on a patrol.
An Indian commanding officer was pushed and fell into the river gorge, sources said, leading to reinforcements being called and up to 600 troops from both armies fighting hand-to-hand, with stones and iron rods as weapons, until late in the night, with several men from both sides falling to their deaths. No shots were fired.
