The Ministry of Veterans Affairs confirmed that the collision on August 11, 2025 between Chinese Coast Guard vessel 3104 Nanyu and a PLA Navy Type 052D destroyer resulted in the deaths of two coast guard personnel at the scene, who were posthumously awarded a first-class merit.
About a year after a collision between a China Coast Guard vessel and a Chinese Navy ship near Scarborough Shoal, official Chinese information has confirmed that the accident resulted in casualties on the Chinese side.
It is alleged that a collision between CCP vessels and Philippine vessels in the South China Sea caused the deaths of two military personnel, aged 21 and 25; related claims state that the incident was not disclosed until August 2026.
In August 2025, in the waters near Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, a Chinese coast guard vessel collided violently with another Chinese warship while chasing a Philippine patrol boat. Philippine officials released video of the incident, saying the accident was caused by the Chinese side obstructing a resupply operation for Philippine fishermen.
