The Philippine Coast Guard accused Chinese vessels of engaging in "dangerous" manoeuvres on Feb 11 while on a nine-day patrol close to a reef off the coast of Southeast Asia.
The Philippine vessel BRP Teresa Magbanua was sent out early in the month of February to patrol waters surrounding Scarborough Shoal, which is a productive fishing area in the South China Sea, and also ensure the safety of Filipino fishermen.
China took the reef from the Philippines in the year 2012, and since then, it has been a flashpoint between both countries.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines have released new footage showing Chinese coast guard sailors brandishing knives, an axe, and other weapons in a recent clash with Philippine naval vessels near the strategic Ayungin Shoal in the South China Sea. The confrontation occurred as Philippine forces attempted a critical resupply mission to marines stationed on the derelict warship BRP Sierra Madre.

A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines. A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region. The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999. This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military.
