台湾海岸巡防署表示，其一艘巡逻舰在东沙（普拉塔斯）群岛附近水域使用水炮驱离两艘中国渔船，该群岛为位于南海北部的台湾控制偏远环礁。
Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration said one of its patrol vessels fired a water cannon to drive two Chinese fishing boats away from waters near the Dongsha (Pratas) Islands, a remote Taiwanese-controlled atoll in the northern South China Sea.
官员称，中国渔船在巡逻舰干预前已进入该岛附近水域，双方船只随后无进一步事态地撤离。未报告任何一方有人员受伤或船只损坏，台湾海巡署表示将继续在该区域进行例行巡逻。
Officials said the Chinese boats had entered waters close to the islands before the patrol intervened, and that both vessels withdrew without further incident. No injuries or damage were reported on either side, and Taiwan's coast guard said it would continue routine patrols in the area.
此次遇险是围绕台湾控制的海外哨所的一系列海上摩擦事件中的最新一起，台北与北京仍在南海和台湾海峡争夺主权。分析人士预计，随着双方在争议水域维持常态化海巡存在，此类事件将继续发生。
The encounter is the latest in a series of maritime run-ins around Taiwan-controlled outposts, as Taipei and Beijing continue to dispute sovereignty claims across the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Analysts expect such incidents to recur as both sides maintain a regular coast guard presence near contested waters.
