The Philippines condemns what it describes as another Chinese coast guard water-cannon incident involving a Philippine vessel near a disputed shoal in the South China Sea. Both reports say a Chinese coast guard ship fires a water cannon at one of the Philippines’ boats, escalating tensions in a region claimed by multiple countries. The Philippines characterizes the action as unacceptable and reiterates its position regarding the disputed maritime area. The reports describe the incident as part of an ongoing pattern of confrontations between vessels operating in the South China Sea, where China and the Philippines have repeatedly reported risky encounters. Neither outlet provides additional verified details such as the exact location of the shoal, the extent of any damage or injuries, or China’s response. The accounts focus on the Philippines’ reaction and the immediate claim that water cannon use occurred during an encounter between a Chinese coast guard vessel and a Philippine boat.
