Chinese Coast Guard attacking Philippines navy in Philippines waters, injuring several people and damaging boats

-A video released by the Philippine military appears to show Chinese and Filipino boats clashing in the contested waters of the South China Sea.

-The Philippines has accused Chinese vessels of ramming Philippine boats, then boarding them and seizing weapons.

-The country's top military commander General Romeo Brawner said Chinese coast guard personnel were armed with swords, spears and knives.

-This appears to be an escalation, after a series of dangerous encounters, as the two sides seek to enforce their claims on disputed reefs and outcrops.

-The confrontation took place as the Philippine navy and coast guard were delivering supplies to Filipino troops stationed in the Second Thomas Shoal, a decrepit navy ship used as a Filipino outpost.
