Manila: The Philippine military on Saturday accused China's air force of harassing its plane during a flight over a disputed South China Sea reef.

Two China air force aircraft "executed a dangerous manoeuvre at around 9:00am and dropped flares in the path of our NC-212i," armed forces chief General Romeo Brawner said in a statement, recounting the alleged incident Thursday over Scarborough Shoal.
