Philippine officials accuse Chinese forces of firing flares at a Philippine fisheries bureau plane during a routine patrol in the South China Sea, the latest incident in a series of territorial disputes between Beijing and Manila over the strategic waterway. The Chinese government has not yet released an official response, but have previously accused Philippine ships and aircraft of encroaching on what they consider to be Chinese territory. The Philippines has called on China to cease all provocative and dangerous actions that threaten the safety of Philippine vessels and aircraft engaged in legitimate and regular activities within Philippine territory and exclusive economic zone.
