Summary:
On April 6, Chinese forces fired flares toward a Philippine Coast Guard Cessna Grand Caravan conducting a routine patrol over Mischief Reef and Subi Reef in the disputed South China Sea. During the encounter, Chinese forces also issued a radio transmission asserting “indisputable sovereignty” over the area, according to Rear Adm. Jay Tarriela, spokesperson for the Philippine Coast Guard. Beijing has not commented on the incident. The Chinese Communist Party claims nearly the entire South China Sea despite a 2016 arbitration ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague that invalidated this claim, which China rejects.
