The Philippines is flagging a toxic threat near its military outpost within
the South China Sea. The island nation says it has confirmed Chinese boats
poured cyanide, a highly toxic chemical,
into waters near a key outpost on Monday. Officials warn it could harm the
environment and put troops at risk.
They say lab tests confirmed bottles recovered from Chinese vessels last year contain cyanide, a highly toxic
toxic
chemical. Philippine forces reportedly
seized 10 bottles across multiple
incidents near Second Thomas Shoal, just west of the Philippines. Authorities
warn the substance could weaken the
structure of the grounded Filipino
warship BRP Sierra Madre, which serves as a military outpost. It could also
kill surrounding fish, cutting off a key
food source for station troops. The
National Security Council called
Beijing's use of cyanide a form of sabotage. The dispute comes as tensions
continue between the Philippines and
China over the South China Sea, which
Beijing claims almost entirely. That's
despite an international ruling rejecting those claims. Manila says it
will increase navy and coast guard
patrols in the area to prevent further
environmental damage.
