TOKYO -- Japan will supply the Philippines with a coastal surveillance radar to monitor the movements of ships as a South China Sea territorial dispute simmers between Manila and Beijing, Nikkei has learned.

Three other countries -- Mongolia, Djibouti, and Indonesia -- will also receive defense equipment free of charge under the Official Security Assistance (OSA) framework for the current fiscal year.
