Coastguard vessels from Japan and Taiwan duelled with water cannon duel with water cannons in the waters of the disputed Diaoyu islands and Senkaku islands on September 25, 2012 after dozens of Taiwanese boats escorted by patrol ships sailed into waters around Tokyo-controlled islands. Dozens of Taiwanese fishing boats set sail for disputed East China Sea islands, organisers said, amid a row over territory controlled by Japan but also claimed by China and Taiwan.
