Manila says Chinese coastguard shot water canon at Filipino vessels in disputed South China Sea.
The islands lie about 220km (137 miles) off the coast of the Philippines and fall within its exclusive economic zone (EEZ), according to international maritime law.
Chinese Maritime Militia vessels were also reported to have engaged in dangerous manoeuvres and deployed a long-range acoustic device that resulted in temporary discomfort and incapacitation to some Filipino crew, the task force added.
