China says Philippine personnel pointed guns at Chinese coast guard

Chinese state media said on Sunday that personnel on a Philippine ship pointed guns at China’s Coast Guard in disputed waters of the South China Sea last month.
At least two personnel on the Philippine vessel near the Second Thomas Shoal were carrying guns on deck, pointing them in the direction of China’s Coast Guard, CCTV said in a social media post.
An accompanying 29-second video appeared to show a masked man momentarily holding up a blurred black object that resembled a rifle.
CCTV said the alleged incident occurred during a Philippine mission to supply troops. The troops are stationed on a rusting warship that Manila grounded in 1999 to reinforce its sovereignty claims.
