Beijing (China Daily/Asia News Network): Washington should elaborate further on a submarine incident in the South China Sea in order to fully respond to the concerns and misgivings of countries in the region, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Tuesday (Nov 2), urging the United States to stop undermining the sovereignty and security of other countries.

US Navy investigators said on Monday that the US nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Connecticut had hit an uncharted undersea mountain, without offering further details. The latest announcement came nearly a month after the submarine had collided with an unknown object on Oct 2.
