On Saturday, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) purported that three Filipino fishermen were injured and two fishing vessels suffered severe damage due to Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) ships allegedly blasting water at the fishing vessels.
Rappler reported that the previous day, nearly 24 vessels were reportedly targeted by CCG ships by targeting them with water cannons and blocking maneuvers. A small CCG boat allegedly cut the anchor ties of numerous Filipino fishing vessels.
“The PCG calls on the Chinese Coast Guard to adhere to internationally recognized standards of conduct, prioritizing the preservation of life at sea over pretensions of law enforcement that jeopardize the lives of innocent fishermen,” the Manila Coast Guard said.
Meanwhile, the CCG said that it has dispelled multiple vessels from disputed atolls in the South China Sea, stating that the vessels entered a close proximity to the Sabina Shoal, purportedly intending to “cause trouble and provoke incidents.”
After the CCG reported the intention, PCG spokesperson Jay Tarriela said, “This is purely intentional. They admitted this evil wrongdoing to ordinary Filipino fishermen.”
The injured fishermen were provided first aid, medical attention, and essential supplies, according to Tarriela.
According to Reuters, this is the latest confrontation in a series of controversies in the South China Sea.
