The US military said two of its warships sailed near islands claimed by China in the South China Sea today in a move that has angered Beijing at a tense time between the world's two biggest economies.

The US guided-missile destroyers Preble and Chung Hoon traveled within 12 nautical miles of Gaven and Johnson Reefs in the Spratly Islands, a US military spokesman said.
