Indonesian navy fires on Chinese boat, Beijing says one injured

An Indonesian maritime vessel terminated on a Chinese angling pontoon on Friday, harming one individual, China's outside service said, the nations' third reported encounter this year close to a chain of islands as provincial pressures mount in the South China Sea.

Indonesia's naval force said it had discharged cautioning shots at a few water crafts with Chinese banners that it blamed for angling wrongfully close to the Natuna Islands - however a representative told Reuters there had been no wounds.

Indonesia is not part of a more extensive local disagreement about China's recovery exercises in the South China Sea and Beijing's cases on swathes of key conduits.

However, Jakarta has protested China's incorporation of parts of the Indonesian-ruled Natuna Islands inside a "nine-dash line" that Beijing blemishes on maps to demonstrate its case on the waterway.

China has said it doesn't question Indonesia's sway over the Natuna Islands, despite the fact that the announcement said the range where the occurrence happened is liable to covering interests.

The Indonesian warship harmed one Chinese angling vessel and kept another with seven individuals on board, Foreign Ministry representative Hua Chunying said on the service site on Sunday.

Hua said the Chinese coast watch saved the harmed angler, who was transported toward the southern Chinese island area of Hainan for treatment where his wounds were under control.

It was misty from the announcement whether Indonesia was all the while holding the vessel and those on board.

Beijing had made authority challenges over the episode, the service said in its announcement, and encouraged Indonesia not to take any more activities to muddle the circumstance. There have been two different experiences reported between Indonesian maritime vessels and Chinese angling water crafts close to the islands this year.
