China’s military said its forces used electronic interference against a Dutch warship that entered waters near the Paracel Islands on Wednesday. The PLA Southern Theatre Command, which oversees the South China Sea, stated that the frigate De Ruyter illegally entered the area and repeatedly sent a helicopter into Chinese airspace.
Chinese air and naval forces issued verbal warnings during the encounter.
The command accused the vessel of violating Chinese territorial claims in the disputed waters. It did not provide further operational details about the electronic interference. The Paracel Islands are administered by China but also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan. The South China Sea remains subject to overlapping territorial claims by multiple governments.
