In the incident on Sunday morning, China's coast guard said there had been a"slight collision" between one of its ships and the Philippine boat while the coast guard was"lawfully" blocking the boat from transporting"illegal construction materials" to the warship. Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, including parts of the exclusive economic zones of the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2016 said China's claims had no legal basis.
Sunday's collision occurred during a routine resupply mission of a boat contracted by the Philippine armed forces, Manila said.
