The Philippines has accused China of using water cannon against its vessels for a second consecutive day in the latest escalation of tensions in the South China Sea. China's Coast Guard stated it had imposed 'control measures' on several Philippine vessels. The incident occurred near Scarborough Shoal, where a Chinese vessel reportedly came within about 7 meters of a Philippine vessel. This marks a continuation of confrontations between the two countries over territorial disputes in the region.
