CHINA-ARGENTINE: ARGENTINE COAST GUARD FIRES ON PLAN VESSEL
Argentina's Coast Guard said on February 25, 2018 that it opened fire on a Chinese vessel illegally fishing in its waters. Nobody was reportedly injured and the Chinese fishermen were not detained. The Argentine Naval Prefecture said in a statement that its guards fired on the Jing Yuan 626 after the squid fishing vessel was caught in an exclusive economic zone. The Argentine coast guard said four other boats sailing under the Chinese flag tried to prevent the capture of the vessel by attempting to collide with coast guard boats.
