This frame grab from handout video footage taken and released on August 31, 2024 by the Philippine Coast Guard shows a Chinese coast Guard ship colliding with Philippine Coast Guard ship BRP Teresa Magbanua near the Sabina Shoal in disputed waters of the South China Sea. Beijing accused a Philippine ship of deliberately running into a Chinese coast guard vessel on August 31 near a flashpoint shoal in the South China Sea, the latest in a spate of similar incidents in recent weeks.
No injuries were reported in the collision at Sabina Shoal, also called Escoda Shoal in the Philippines, the fifth incident between the two countries’ naval and aerial assets in the South China Sea this month. “The Chinese coastguard carried out dangerous manoeuvres despite being unprovoked,” said Commodore Jay Tarriela, a coastguard spokesman for the West Philippine Sea.
Tarriela said the Teresa Magbanua was surrounded by Chinese vessels, including two Chinese coastguard ships and two Chinese navy boats, as it “loitered” around Sabina Shoal, located within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
