The Philippines claimed that the Chinese coast guard blocked an effort to evacuate a sick personnel of its forces on May 19 at the Second Thomas Shoal. The two countries have had a series of confrontations in the past as Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea.
A viral video video shows several Chinese armoured vehicles and soldiers on the spot, signalling the shepherds to leave. However, the herders bravely stood up to the Chinese troops, arguing that they were grazing on Indian territory and picked up stones to defend themselves.
Filipino fishermen reportedly said that Chinese vessels install floating barriers when they monitor their presence in the disputed area.
The vessels were escorting boats that were carrying essential supplies like water, fuel and military forces to the Second Thomas Shoal, which were blocked by the Chinese Coast Guard ship.
