Wednesday, 26 February 2014
Two Indian navy sailors are missing and seven others are in hospital after inhaling smoke during an accident on board a submarine off the Mumbai coast. The INS Sindhuratna was being tested at sea when smoke triggered the automatic closure of hatches, officials said. The incident is the latest in a series involving Indian navy warships and submarines in the past few months. Last year, 18 sailors died when another submarine sank after two blasts and a fire at a Mumbai dockyard, according to BBC.
