NEW DELHI, Dec. 25, 2023 (TBINN)
Chemical tanker MV Chem Pluto was struck by a drone off India’s West Coast but the origin of the strike and the amount of explosive used for it could be known after further forensic and technical scrutiny, according to an analysis by the Indian Navy today following an initial inspection of the vessel after it arrived at Mumbai Harbour.
Navy’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team carried out a detailed inspection of the Liberian-flagged vessel on its arrival at Mumbai harbour, two days after the ship was hit by a drone off in the Arabian Sea when it was on its way to New Mangalore Port.
A Pentagon spokesperson said on Sunday that MV Chem Pluto was hit by “a one-way attack drone fired from Iran”.
