Hanoi .- Vietnam announced Friday live-fire naval maneuvers in the South China Sea amid an escalation of the tension caused by the friction it has with Beijing following the dispute between sovereignty over maritime areas which both claim. The announcement was made in a statement posted on the web site's official state agency for Maritime Security Cooperation in the North the day after the Vietnamese Government to denounce the second case of harassment of its ships by the Chinese.
According to the agency for maritime safety, the maneuvers will take place off the coast of Quang Nam province in central Vietnam, and during which they used live ammunition.
