BEIJING, Ramadan 14, 1437, June 19, 2016, SPA -- An Indonesian naval vessel fired on a Chinese fishing boat on Friday, injuring one person, China's foreign ministry said. Indonesia's navy said it had fired warning shots at several boats with Chinese flags that it accused of fishing illegally near the Natuna Islands - but a spokesman told Reuters there had been no injuries. The Indonesian warship damaged one Chinese fishing boat and detained another with seven people on board, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said on the ministry website on Sunday. Hua said the Chinese coast guard rescued the injured fisherman, who was transported to the southern Chinese island province of Hainan for treatment where his injuries were under control. --SPA 16:32 LOCAL TIME 13:32 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
