The China Coast Guard, or the CCG, said a Philippine official vessel deliberately rammed into a CCG ship in China's territorial waters near Huangyan Dao in the South China Sea on the morning of September 16th. CCG spokesperson Gan Yu said that over 10 Philippine official vessels illegally entered China's territorial waters near Huangyan Dao, and the CCG took control measures in accordance with the law, including warnings, navigation route control, and the use of a water cannon against the Philippine vessels. However, at around 10 a.m., one of the Philippine vessels, with the hull number 3014, ignored multiple warnings from the Chinese side and deliberately rammed into a CCG ship in an unprofessional and dangerous manner. The spokesperson said the Philippine side's intentional infringement and provocative actions are malicious in nature, adding that the Philippine side bears full responsibility for the collision.
