The Philippines accused the China Coast Guard of blocking and firing water cannon at a Filipino supply vessel Saturday morning off a remote and contested South China Sea reef.
It also released another clip showing a white ship marked “China Coast Guard” crossing the bow of a grey vessel it identified as the Filipino supply boat Unaizah May 4. Saturday’s incident came just two days after another confrontation near Scarborough Shoal — another contested South China Sea outcrop — between the China Coast Guard and Filipino scientists who landed on two cays.
“This particular mission was set up to ensure a full troop complement on board BRP Sierra Madre after one personnel needing serious medical attention was recently evacuated,” it added.
