The Philippines accused the China Coast Guard of blocking and damaging a Filipino supply vessel using water cannons in the South China Sea. The incident occurred near the Second Thomas Shoal, where there have been previous clashes between Chinese and Filipino vessels. Videos released by the Philippine military showed a Chinese ship dousing the Filipino vessel with a water cannon. Despite the attack, the damaged vessel managed to deliver its cargo and six navy personnel to a Filipino outpost. China claims most of the South China Sea, ignoring rival claims and international rulings.
