A Chinese coast guard vessel has been caught on camera firing a water cannon at a Vietnamese fishing boat, reportedly injuring its crew members.
After returning to port, Huynh told local Vietnamese media that he suffered a broken right arm. His captain suffered a head injury, he said.
Huynh said he was in the ship's cabin when he heard crew members shouting that a Chinese ship was approaching:"Before I could even stand up to observe, the people on the ship number 4201 used a water cannon to spray me, causing me to fly and roll down to the deck." "My eyes and nose were dark and I couldn't see anything. When I stood up, my whole body and hands were injured. Must be broken," he was quoted as saying.
China's coast guard vessels have stepped up their enforcement of territorial claims in recent years, repeatedly expelling Vietnamese fishing boats in a similar manner. Since 2014, 98 Vietnamese boats have been destroyed by Chinese vessels, according to figures published by Singapore'sChina Coast Guard vessel 4201 firing water cannon at a Vietnamese fishing boat near the Paracel Islands on August 28. As a result, one fisherman broke his right arm, and another suffered a head injury.
