MANILA — The Philippines repeated its call for China to stop"provocative actions", warning that its attempts to block Manila's resupply missions to a disputed atoll in the South China Sea could have"disastrous results".
In the incident early on Sunday, China's coastguard said there had been a"slight collision" between one of its ships and the Philippine boat while the coastguard was"lawfully" blocking the boat from transporting"illegal construction materials" to the warship. Manila responded by condemning"in the strongest degree" the"dangerous blocking manoeuvres" of the Chinese vessel.
The Philippine Coast Guard has yet to evaluate the extent of damage to the supply boat's hull, but its spokesperson, Jay Tarriela said in the same news conference that it was"deep" and"more than a scratch".
