A Chinese fishing vessel rammed and sank a Vietnamese fishing boat in the disputed South China Sea, Vietnamese state media reported Tuesday, an incident likely to sharpen already dangerously high tensions between the two nations over their overlapping claims in the waters.

The reports in the Tuoi Tre newspaper and other media said the incident occurred around 18 miles from a large oil rig China deployed May 1 in a section of the sea claimed by both countries. The move by Beijing infuriated Hanoi and set off violent anti-China protests.

Vietnam sent patrol ships to confront the rig, and China has deployed scores of vessels to protect it. The two sides have been involved in a tense standoff, occasionally colliding with each other.

The countries have long sparred over who owns what in the oil and gas-rich waters. Incidents between fishing crews are quite common.
