ndonesia's navy said Monday that one of its patrol vessels was rammed by two Vietnamese coast guard ships after intercepting a boat it says was fishing illegally in its waters.

Indonesia detained 12 Vietnamese fishermen from the boat, which sank in Saturday's clash, and they are being held at a naval base "for further legal proceedings," said Rear Adm. Yudo Margono, the commander of Indonesia's Western Fleet. Two others were rescued by Vietnam's coast guard.
