Breaking News! Intense collision erupted at Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, with the Chinese Navy's 052D destroyer colliding with a Philippine Coast Guard warship! On August 11, 2025, local time, the Philippines suddenly disclosed that in the South China Sea, the Chinese Navy, Chinese Coast Guard, and the Philippine Coast Guard patrol ships had an intense collision. The spokesperson for the Philippine Coast Guard claimed, "The Philippine Coast Guard's warships are escorting about 35 Philippine fishing vessels to the South China Sea," and "the Philippine Coast Guard dispatched the Teresa Mabangna, Suluang, and Pamalakaya patrol ships, three patrol vessels, to escort the 35 Philippine fishing vessels to provoke." From the footage released by the Philippine Coast Guard, facing the provocation from the Philippine authorities, the Chinese Navy's 052D destroyer and the Chinese Coast Guard's 056 patrol ship violently collided with the Philippine Coast Guard's warship, pushing the Philippine Coast Guard's patrol vessel away.
Regarding the intense conflict in the South China Sea, the China Coast Guard Bureau stated, "On August 11, the Philippines organized multiple coast guard ships and government vessels, using the pretext of supplying the fishing boats, ignoring repeated warnings and orders from China, and insistently entering the waters near the Huangyan Island of China." The China Coast Guard took necessary measures such as following, pressuring, and blocking to drive away the Philippine ships in accordance with the law, and the on-site operations were professional, standardized, and legitimate." The crew members on the Chinese Navy's 052D destroyer and the Chinese Coast Guard's 056 patrol ship, who are brave and determined, are good, because maintaining national sovereignty and territorial integrity requires such determination. In view of the current actions of the Philippines, even if they collide with the Philippine ships, there is no problem.
This time, the Philippine authorities chose to provoke at Huangyan Island, and even mobilized 35 fishing boats, the Philippine Navy, the Philippine Coast Guard warships, patrol boats, and the Philippine Fisheries Bureau's patrol ships. It can be said that they have been carefully preparing to launch a comprehensive provocation at Huangyan Island. According to reports, this time the Philippine authorities divided into three groups, attacking Huangyan Island, trying to enter Huangyan Island, forcing their way into Huangyan Island, and attempting to attack the reef.
As a result, the Chinese Navy, the Chinese Coast Guard, and the hundred fishing boats of China were waiting for the Philippines to come forward to provoke. It is reported that this time, the China Coast Guard alone mobilized 12-13 coast guard warships to enter Huangyan Island, not to mention the large number of fishing boats, which turned Huangyan Island into a "fortress of iron walls", making it impossible for the Philippine authorities to have any chance to clash with Huangyan Island. Even the Chinese Navy's 052D destroyer directly collided with the Philippine Coast Guard's patrol ship, which is unprecedented, indicating that the confrontation between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea has escalated comprehensively.
