00:41

An official Philippine vessel deliberately rammed into a China Coast Guard (CCG) ship in China's territorial waters near Huangyan Dao in the South China Sea on September 16.

CCG spokesperson Gan Yu said that on Tuesday over 10 Philippine official vessels illegally entered China's territorial waters near Huangyan Dao, and the CCG took control measures in accordance with the law, including warnings, navigation route control, and the use of water cannon against the Philippine vessels. However, at around 10 a.m., one of the Philippine vessels, ignored multiple warnings from the Chinese side and deliberately rammed into a CCG ship in an unprofessional and dangerous manner.
