The Philippine Navy has condemned the use of Long-Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) by the China Coast Guard (CCG) against a Philippine Coast Guard vessel, calling it a clear escalation of aggression in the West Philippine Sea. Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad, spokesperson for the Philippine Navy in the WPS, stated that the LRAD signifies an increase in the Chinese Communist Party's aggression and underscores their illegal presence and coercive actions in the disputed waters. He linked this incident with China's broader strategy of asserting territorial claims over the South China Sea, citing the recent arrest of a Chinese national involved in intelligence surveillance of Philippine infrastructure.
ByThe use of long-range acoustic devices by China Coast Guard is a clear sign of escalating aggression in the West Philippine Sea , according to Philippine Navy spokesperson for WPS Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad.
The LRAD emits high-intensity sound waves capable of causing severe pain and potential hearing damage. Trinidad further criticized China’s ongoing efforts to assert its territorial claims over the entire South China Sea. Trinidad added that these actions are part of a broader strategy that is beginning to take shape. “By connecting all the dots, we are beginning to get a clearer picture of what’s happening. The puzzle is still incomplete, but we’re starting to see where this is leading,” he said.
