The Chinese Coast Guard has sent a water cannon towards a Philippine government vessel.
China carried out control actions against the Philippine vessel in accordance with laws and regulations.
Philippine maritime police vessels have come dangerously close to Chinese ships in waters off the disputed Huangyan Island in the South China Sea.
A Chinese Coast Guard vessel sprayed a water cannon onto the navigation antennas of the BRP Datu Pagbuaya.
According to the official representative of the Philippine Coast Guard, Jay Tarriel, on the social network X (formerly Twitter, banned in Russia), China sprayed a Philippine vessel with a water cannon.
China acted lawfully and, as emphasized, in accordance with regulations.
The BRP Datu Pagbuaya was deliberately fired upon with a water cannon, directly at its navigation systems.
There have been more recent cases of claimants with vessels in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines over disputed areas.
