Headline:

CHINESE SHIPS RAM FILIPINO COAST GUARD VESSEL IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA

A Chinese coast-guard ship and an accompanying vessel rammed a Philippine coast-guard ship and a military-run supply boat Sunday off a contested shoal, Philippine officials said, in an encounter that heightened fears of an armed conflict in the disputed South China Sea.

A top Philippine security official told The Associated Press there were no injuries among the Filipino crew members and an assessment of the damage to both vessels was underway.

China keeps pushing and provoking.
