Aussie navy pilots hit by Chinese lasers
and now I read in Facebook

"China rejected claims that it targeted Australian helicopter pilots with lasers in the South China Sea, calling on Australia to “reflect on itself.”
Earlier this month, an Australian named Euan Graham claimed that their military helicopter pilots were hit by lasers coming from Chinese fishing vessels in the South China Sea.
During that time, Graham was aboard HMAS Canberra, a helicopter landing dock and flagship of the Royal Australian Navy, which was on a three-month mission in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.
China’s Defense Ministry Spokesman Wu Qian has rebutted the accusations on Thursday at a monthly briefing, saying the report was “not consistent with the facts,” and Australia should “reflect on itself” before pointing the blame at others.
Chinese fishermen have the right to work in their own waters and sail through high seas, Wu added."
