Chinese coast guard fired a water cannon at Philippine boats resupplying military personnel on Ayungin Shoal. That is also known as Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands, which China refers to as Nansha Qundao.
The US warned China's use of water cannon against Philippine resupply boats in the South China Sea "dangerous, provocative, and unjustifiable" on Friday, and warned that an armed strike on Philippine vessels would trigger the US's mutual defense responsibilities.
