The Philippines has demanded that China cease all provocative and dangerous actions after accusing it of firing at aircraft conducting patrols over the South China Sea.
The aircraft, which belonged to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, monitors and intercepts poachers encroaching on the Philippines's exclusive economic zone.
Such actions undermine regional peace and security, and further erode the image of the PRC with the international community, the interagency task force said.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated they conducted countermeasures against Philippine military aircraft that flew into its airspace, yet did not comment on the harassment incident.
