Vietnam said Thursday that a Chinese vessel rammed into and sank one of its fishing boats near disputed islands in the South China Sea in an incident that could further raise tensions between the countries.
The 10 fishermen on board were rescued by another Vietnamese fishing boat and the case was reported to authorities when the fishermen returned home two days ago, said Phan Huy Hoang, president of central Quang Ngai province’s Fisheries Association.
