The Philippine Coast Guard vessel BRP Sindangan accidentally hit a China Coast Guard ship that blocked its path on Saturday.

According to a report on "24 Oras," the Philippine Coast Guard said the CCG boat 4103 chased the Philippine vessel and blocked its path to prevent it from catching up with the resupply boat Unaizah May 4.

The PCG vessel accidentally hit the Chinese ship because of the latter's speed.
