The Philippine vessel attempted to intrude into our Huangyan Island territorial sea. The Southern Theater Command organized naval and air forces to monitor and drive it away.

According to the WeChat official account "Southern Theater Command", Colonel Tian Juli, spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command, stated that on May 5th, the Philippine corvette No. 35 attempted to intrude into China's Huangyan Island territorial waters. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command organized naval and air forces to track, monitor, warn, and drive away according to laws and regulations, effectively preventing the Philippine vessel from intruding into China's territorial waters. The operation was professional, standard, legitimate, and lawful. The relevant statements by the Philippine side ignored facts and misled international perception. Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China's territory. We warn the Philippine side to immediately stop infringement, provocations, and distortions. The troops of the theater command remain highly vigilant at all times, firmly safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and maritime rights and interests, and firmly maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea.
