A Japanese destroyer has collided with a Cambodian-registered cargo ship at a Vietnamese port in the latest mishap for Japan's navy.
The destroyer Hamayuki was trying to dock at the Ho Chi Minh port in southern Vietnam under the guidance of a pilot boat when the collision took place, Defense Ministry Spokeswoman Mika Soma said Monday.
"No one was injured in the accident. Hamayuki destroyer suffered damage to the flagpole while paint was scraped off the Cambodian cargo ship," Soma said.
The Hamayuki was on a month-long training expedition with two other Japanese destroyers.
The incident came days after another Japanese destroyer collided with a Japanese fishing boat near Tokyo, leaving two fishermen missing and causing a national uproar.
