Indonesian Navy seizes three Chinese ships

SURABAYA (Antara): The Indonesian Navy has seized three Chinese fishing boats, which illegally caught fish in Indonesian waters, a navy official says.

Spokesman of the Indonesian Navy's East Fleet Lt. Toni Syaiful said Wednesday an Indonesian warship had to release warning shots to stop the three Chinese ships, which tried to escape to Australian waters.

"Mandau Warship could arrest the boats, which have tried to escape through borderline between Australia and Indonesia," Toni was quoted by Antara news agency as saying.

The three trawlers are Liao Dagan Yu 8989, Liao Dagan Yu 15126 and Liao Dagan Yu 15127.
