CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Chinese Military Ships Crash Into Each Other in Explosive South China Sea Incident

A Chinese Coast Guard vessel collided with a People's Liberation Army Navy destroyer while pursuing a Philippine Coast Guard patrol boat near the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, causing substantial damage that rendered the coast guard ship unseaworthy, according to footage released Monday. The incident occurred as Chinese forces attempted to intercept the Philippine vessel in waters that Beijing claims as its territory but Manila contests under international maritime law, highlighting the risks of escalation in the strategically vital waterway where both nations regularly conduct patrols.
