Indonesia has deployed a warship to its North Natuna Sea to monitor a Chinese coast guard vessel.
Laksamana Madya Muhammad Ali, the chief of the Indonesian navy said on Saturday; "A warship, maritime patrol plane and drone have been deployed to monitor the Chinese vessel.
“The Chinese vessel has not conducted any suspicious activities.
"However, we need to monitor it as it has been in Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for some time."
The Indonesian Ocean Justice Initiative also added that the Chinese vessel, CCG 5901, has been sailing in the Natuna Sea since December 30.
China’s CCG 5901 is the world’s largest coast guard vessel and is nicknamed the “The Monster” due to its size.
