PH, Chinese ships collide anew off Ayungin Shoal

Video shows the collision between the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) ship BRP Sindangan (MRRV-4407) and China Coast Guard (CCG) 21555 on Tuesday, March 5, off Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal in the West Philippine Sea. The collision resulted in minor structural damage to the PCG vessel. The PCG ship was one of two escorting a resupply mission to troops stationed at the grounded BRP Sierra Madre when Chinese vessels formed a blockade to prevent the Philippine ships from passing through.
