The Philippines withdrew its Coast Guard vessel from a South China Sea shoal that’s not too long ago been on the middle of tensions with Beijing.
BRP Teresa Magbanua “was compelled to return to port” from Sabina Shoal as a result of dangerous climate, depleted provides and the necessity to evacuate personnel requiring medical care, Coast Guard spokesman Jay Tarriela stated Sunday in a publish on X.
The Philippine vessel “shall be in tiptop form to renew her mission” after it has been resupplied and repaired, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, who heads the nation’s maritime council, stated in an announcement earlier Sunday.
