'The [Rotation and Resupply] mission is still ongoing, with Unaiza May 1 reaching BRP Sierra Madre to successfully resupply our troops and personnel stationed there,' the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea said.
MANILA — The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea on Sunday said a Chinese coast guard vessel conducted "dangerous blocking maneuvers" against a resupply boat headed to BRP Sierra Madre on Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, causing a collision.
The task force called CCGV 5203's actions "provocative, irresponsible and illegal" and said that endangered the crew of Unaiza May 2, a ship that had been contracted by the Armed Forces of the Philippines for the rotation and resupply mission. "The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea condemns in the strongest degree the latest dangerous, irresponsible, and illegal actions of the CCG and the Chinese Maritime Militia done this morning."
