中菲船隻17日在南海發生衝突，菲律賓軍方公布影片，可見中國海警持斧頭、開山刀等武器攻擊菲國海軍人員，不僅刺破船隻，還強行奪走船上武器。參謀總長指控中方行徑「有如海盜」，要求歸還槍枝等裝備並賠償損失。

根據《美聯社》，菲國官員說明，當時2艘菲律賓海軍充氣艇前往仁愛暗沙（Second Thomas Shoal）執行補給任務，遭到多達8艘中國海警汽艇多次撞擊，甚至強行登船，一陣混戰後扣留菲方船隻，並持開山刀等刀械及榔頭加以破壞，還繳獲8支M4步槍、導航設備等物品，並打傷多名菲國海軍人員，其中一人失去右手拇指。
軍方19日晚間公布的影片中，中國海警在汽艇上揮舞刀械、斧頭及棍棒，包圍2艘菲國海軍補給船，周圍警笛聲不斷，雙方互相怒吼，還可看見中國海警持刀刺破菲國充氣艇，並用長棍吊走船上一個黑色袋子，看見有人錄影時還故意對鏡頭閃爍燈光。還有照片顯示菲方船隻被砸壞，玻璃碎裂。

菲律賓參謀總長布勞納（Romeo Brawner）在記者會上表示，「我們要求中國歸還我方步槍與裝備，並賠償他們造成的損失」，「他們違法登上我們的船隻，沒收我方裝備，這種行徑使他們有如海盜。」
