, the Philippine coast guard said Monday, calling the act a “blatant” violation of Manila’s sovereign rights.
Although the Chinese coast guard had tried to block Philippine coast guard ships in the disputed waters before, this was the first time it used a laser light and caused physical suffering among Filipino coast guard personnel, Philippine coast guard spokesperson Commodore Armand Balilo told the Associated Press.“The Chinese ship illuminated the green laser light twice toward the BRP Malapascua, causing temporary blindness to her crew at the bridge,” the Philippine coast guard said.
It was not immediately clear if the Philippine resupply mission pushed through despite the incident. The coast guard has reported the incident to an interagency body monitoring the South China Sea and the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila, Balilo said. One of two Chinese coast guard ships that were joined by two Chinese militia vessels removed the cover of its 70 mm armament during the blockade, the coast guard said, adding it would not be deterred by China’s aggression in protecting Philippine sovereignty and sovereign rights in the disputed sea.

So a laser pointer?
