The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said a vessel belonging to the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) collided with one of its ships during a resupply mission in the South China Sea on Tuesday.
The collision occurred due to the CCG's "dangerous maneuvers and blocking," PCG Commodore Jay Tarriela wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"Their reckless and illegal actions led to a collision between MRRV-4407 and China Coast Guard 21555 that resulted to minor structural damage to the PCG vessel," Tarriela stated, adding that the resupply mission is still ongoing.
