Indonesia has successfully expelled a China Coast Guard vessel from a disputed area in the South China Sea. The incident occurred while a unit of Indonesia's state-run oil and gas company, PT Pertamina, was conducting survey activities in its designated working area.
The confrontation highlights ongoing tensions in the region, where territorial disputes have been a source of friction between Indonesia and China. The Indonesian government has taken a firm stance to protect its maritime interests, as evidenced by the recent actions against the Chinese vessel, which was reportedly interfering with Pertamina's operations.
A video of the encounter has been shared publicly, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
