Fabricated report that 'Philippine fighter jets destroyed 300 China fishing boats' surfaces online
False posts in the Philippines repeatedly shared a fabricated report that claimed the archipelago's fighter jets destroyed "300 Chinese fishing vessels" in the South China Sea in January 2024. While there have been tense standoffs between Manila and Beijing in the waterway recently, the incident described in posts did not happen, Philippine military officials told AFP. Clips of fighter jets and fishing boats shown in the posts were actually taken from unrelated news reports.
