PH ship on resupply mission to troops damaged in collision with Chinese vessel in SCS

MANILA, Philippines: The Philippine Coast Guard said one of its ships was damaged on Tuesday in a collision with a China Coast Guard vessel during a rotation and resupply (RoRe) mission in the South China Sea.

Chinese coast guard and other vessels undertook "dangerous maneuvers and blocking," leading to a collision that resulted in "minor structural damage to the PCG (Philippine Coast Guard) vessel," PCG Commodore Jay Tarriela said.
