Philippine ship suspected of a violent explosion and fire, several small boats rushed to spray water for rescue, while Chinese maritime police ships patrolled nearby!
Recently, an online video showed a vessel of unknown nationality exploding and on fire, with the burning flames causing subsequent secondary explosions. According to netizens' analysis, it is likely a Philippine vessel. Currently, tugs have arrived at the scene to carry out rescue and water spraying for firefighting operations.
In the video, one of the Chinese maritime police ships can be seen patrolling nearby. At this time, the cause of the fire on the vessel is still unknown. Recently, the Philippines has increased its provocative actions in the Huangyan Island and the Scarborough Shoal, frequently sending various vessels.
This level of pressure is already too much for Philippine vessels, so it is possible for them to experience malfunctions or even catch fire. The author's analysis is that the Chinese maritime police ship could not have caused the fire on the Philippine vessel. The main reason is likely due to problems with the Philippine vessel itself.
Additionally, the Chinese maritime police ship nearby is expected to also take on humanitarian relief work. It is lucky for the Philippines to have such a kind opponent.
