The Philippine government says a Chinese Coast Guard vessel collided with a Philippine military supply boat after making dangerous blocking maneuvers near the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.

The Philippines' National Security Council said the incident occurred on Sunday morning.

A video released by the Philippine military shows the Chinese ship's bow hitting the rear of the supply boat.

The NSC also said a Chinese maritime militia vessel bumped a Philippine Coast Guard patrol ship that was escorting the supply boat.

The Philippine vessels were on a mission to resupply a military post in the waters.
The NSC denounced the Chinese vessels for their "dangerous, irresponsible and illegal actions."

China's Coast Guard also released a video purportedly taken when the collision occurred.

It argued that the Philippine vessels ignored a warning, approached a Chinese ship with dangerous maneuvers and caused the collision.

The Coast Guard added that the Philippine side should take all the blame.

The two countries have been trading accusations over maritime incidents in the South China Sea, where they have overlapping claims.

Manila said a Chinese Coast Guard ship came within 1 meter of a Philippine patrol boat near the Spratly Islands on October 4.
