Philippines says illegal structures found on reefs near where Chinese boats swarmed
CNN
The Philippine military said Thursday it has discovered illegally built structures on features in the Union Banks, a series of reefs in the South China Sea near where Manila says Chinese maritime militia boats have been swarming in recent weeks.
The military said the structures were spotted during maritime patrols conducted on Tuesday, but it did not give the precise location of the structures or more details as to who erected them or as to their construction, saying only their presence violated international law. "These structures are illegal," military chief-of-staff Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana said in a statement.More Related News
