A Chinese Navy ship and a China Coast Guard vessel collided near the disputed Scarborough Shoal while pursuing a Philippine patrol vessel, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said on Monday (August 11).
Video by the PCG showed the China Coast Guard ship CCG 3104 making a sharp turn across the bow of Chinese PLA Navy ship with Hull No. 164, resulting in an impact that damaged both vessels.
The collision occurred as the Chinese ships tried to block the Philippine vessel BRP Suluan, which was escorting boats delivering aid to Filipino fishermen.
