First person injured after Chinese ship fires water cannon in Philippines South China Sea. "This is the most serious matter," he said, calling on China to exercise restraint.
On the 5th, a cargo ship headed for a Philippine military base was fired by a Chinese Coast Guard vessel with water cannons, killing four crew members. In the sea area, in response to the six ships of the Philippine fleet, the Chinese side deployed five ships, 18 large fishing boats believed to be manned by maritime militia, and three ships.
