The Chinese coast guard has targeted Philippine vessels with water cannon blasts and rammed one of them, Philippine officials say.They said the incident yesterday caused damage and endangered Filipino crew members off a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, just a day after similar hostilities at another contested shoal.The Philippines and its treaty ally, the United States, immediately condemned the latest confrontation near the Second Thomas Shoal, where two Philippine navy-operated supply boats and two Philippine coast guard escort ships had sailed to deliver food and other supplies to Filipino forces in a long-marooned navy ship that serves as a territorial outpost.
