China Destroys Philippine Supply Vessel with Water Cannons

China's Coast Guard fired multiple water cannon barrages at Unaizah Mae 4, destroying the vessel's superstructure and disabling its propulsion near Second Thomas Shoal. Four Philippine Navy sailors were injured; BRP Sindangan had to tow the stricken boat back to port. The Philippines filed a diplomatic protest and summoned the Chinese envoy. President Marcos stated the Philippines would not be 'cowed into submission.' The US condemned the attack.
