Participants
New People's Army China (financier)
Outcome
Arms shipment intercepted by the Philippine military; MV Karagatan sank and crew abandoned ship
Property damage
MV Karagatan (sank)
The July 1972 MV Karagatan incident was an unsuccessful attempt by the New People's Army — the armed wing of the Marxist–Leninist–Maoist[1][2] Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) — to smuggle armaments from China into the Philippines via the ship MV Karagatan. The incident is notable for having been cited by President Ferdinand Marcos as one of his rationales for imposing martial law in the Philippines in September 1972.
