Chinese Ship Radars Lock on Philippine Frigate

0:00Today is March 20th. Here's what's making headlines worldwide. The Philippine military has accused the Chinese Navy ship of locking its fire control radar on one of their frigates during a patrol in the South China. See, this happened on March 7, near Sabina Sho, where the guided missile frigate BRP Miguel Malvar was on routine duty. A Chinese vessel approached the Philippine ship and then aimed its radar directly at it, according to the armed forces of the Philippines. Officials described the action as unprofessional and dangerous. The military issued a statement on Friday, March 20th, labeling the incident alarming and provocative. They stressed it could have escalated into a serious confrontation at sea. Tensions remain high in the area, with both nations conducting regular patrols around disputed shows like Sabina. No shots were fired, but the radar-lock raised fears of miscalculation. Philippine leaders are calling for restraint to avoid further close calls in these busy waters.
