Philippine and Chinese ships have collided for the second time in a week as tensions simmer over the latest South China Sea hotspot.
The Philippines and China have again blamed each other after the second maritime collision in six days as tensions continue to rise in the disputed South China Sea.The most recent collision, which occurred Sunday a few minutes past 2 p.m., involved a Philippine fisheries bureau vessel, the BRP Datu Sanday, as it delivered food, diesel, and medical supplies to local fishermen in the vicinity of Sabina Shoal and Half Moon Shoal, two atolls in the Spratly Islands.
Coast guard spokesperson Gan Yu said the Philippine vessel then 'deliberately rammed' a Chinese coast guard ship and warned Manila to cease its 'infringement and provocation or it would 'bear all the consequences.'Newsweek reached out to the Philippine coast guard and fisheries bureau via written requests for comment.
