US EditionSouth China Sea: Philippine and Chinese vessels collide in contested waters
- The Philippines and China have traded accusations over a collision in the South China Sea, with the Philippine coast guard alleging that China fired water cannons and rammed their vessels. China claims almost the entire South China Sea, despite a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration stating its claims have no legal basis.
- The tensions escalated when China fired water cannons at a Filipino civilian-operated fishing vessel near Scarborough Shoal, and later, two Philippine vessels entered Chinese waters without permission. China's coast guard said the Philippine vessel intentionally rammed their ship.
- European Union and New Zealand expressed concern over the incidents, while Philippines' President Ferdinand Marcos warned of a worsening situation in the South China Sea.
