China Coast Guard spokesperson Geng Yu stated that the Philippine vessel deliberately collided with a Chinese ship, escalating tensions in the South China Sea.
Manila's National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea reported that two Philippine coast guard ships were damaged due to aggressive maneuvers by Chinese vessels near the Sabina Shoal.
Despite an international tribunal ruling against its claims, China continues to assert authority over the South China Sea, including the contested Sabina Shoal.
The Sabina Shoal, located near the Philippines, is subjected to ongoing confrontations, with both the Chinese and Philippine coast guards stationed in the area.
