TOKYO, JAPAN - A JAPANESE destroyer collided into a Cambodian cargo ship on Monday in Vietnam, in the latest mishap for Japan's navy, the defence ministry said.

No one was injured in the accident in the port of Ho Chi Minh City, a defence ministry spokeswoman said.

Japan's Hamayuki destroyer suffered damage to the flagpole while paint was scraped off the Cambodian cargo ship, she said.

Japan's defence ministry is embroiled in controversy after its largest destroyer, the Atago, last month smashed into a Japanese fishing boat, leaving two fishermen missing. -- AFP
