MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines successfully conducted a resupply mission to troops manning the BRP Sierra Madre on Saturday without any untoward incident, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said.
This is the first rotation and reprovisioning (RORE) mission since Manila and Beijing reached a critical deal after months of heightened tensions over the Ayungin Shoal, a feature situated within the country’s 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that is also being claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.
