Description
The Philippine government says two of its coast guard ships were damaged in collisions with Chinese vessels that were conducting "unlawful and aggressive manoeuvres" near a disputed South China Sea reef.
"These dangerous manoeuvres resulted in collisions causing structural damage to both Philippine Coast Guard vessels," says Jonathan Malaya, Assistant Director General at the National Security Council of the Philippines.
For its part, Beijing accused Manila's ships of "illegally" entering its waters without permission and having "deliberately collided" with the Chinese ship. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
