Mumbai: The three Indian naval sailors were killed and 11 sustainable burns in the explosion on a rajput class destroyer, INS Ranvir, in the yard of the navy in Mumbai on Tuesday.
The explosion occurred at around 4:45 p.m.
in the internal compartment of the destroyer, which anchored in Mumbai on the crosspropriate spread of the East Navy Command in Visakhapatnam.
Although the investigation board that was ordered into an accident would ensure the right detail, the source said the explosion was probably due to gas leakage in the battle compartment.
“Those who died were sitting in their cabin side by side with the AC compartment when the explosion occurred.
The cabin collapsed to them.
The explosion was not associated with ammunition,” said a source to Ti.
The defense spokesman said: “The crew immediately responded and carried a situation under control.
There was no damage to the main material that had been reported.” “Ins Ranvir has been in the operational spread of the coastal command of the East Navy since November 2021 and will soon return to PORT PANGKALAN, “said the spokesman.
