Philippines and China accuse each other of dangerous maneuvers in South China Sea collision

The Philippine Coast Guard reported that one of its boats suffered "minor structural damage" in a collision near Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. The incident occurred during a resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre, where Filipino sailors have been living since it was grounded nearly 25 years ago. The Philippine military had previously stated that they were carrying out this mission. China's coastguard claimed they took measures against Philippine vessels at Second Thomas Shoal. The Chinese government also claims almost the entire South China Sea Reef. It is important to note that there are conflicting reports regarding the incidents and the involved parties have different perspectives on the situation.
