(UPDATE) BOATS resupplying Philippine troops on Ayungin Shoal completed their mission Friday, but not before they were harassed by a swarm of Chinese coast guard and militia vessels, an American security analyst reported.
Two China Coast Guard ships and 10 Chinese maritime militia vessels were monitored at 5 a.m.
On August 5, a resupply mission was aborted after a CCG vessel fired a water cannon at one of the boats bringing provisions to Ayungin.
