General Romeo Brawner Jr, top of the Philippine military, blamed Chinese faculty for boarding in excess of eight speedboats and over and again slamming, then boarding, two inflatable vessels on Monday.
Contrasting the demonstration with robbery, he said the Chinese had bladed weapons and attempted to forestall the exchange of food, guns and different supplies to a Philippine regional station in the contested region of the Subsequent Thomas Reef.
Threats between the two nations have heightened in and around the sandbar – where the Philippines grounded the BRP Sierra Madre transport in 1999 to make the station – which is likewise guaranteed by Beijing.
Film delivered by the Philippine military on Wednesday showed the question, with Chinese faculty waving what seemed, by all accounts, to be cleavers, blades, tomahawks, mallets and sticks while encompassing two inventory boats.
Alarms boomed continually as the two sides could be heard hollering at one another. The Chinese seemed to crush the Philippine naval force boat with a shaft and pictures showed its side floaters cut and flattened, and one more boat with its windshields and navigational screens broke.
