"Concern For India As Well": Sri Lankan MP To NDTV After US Sinks Iranian Ship
A United States submarine sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday. The incident occurred off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, far from the Persian Gulf where much of the current conflict has been concentrated. Sri Lankan authorities confirmed that their navy rescued 32 Iranian sailors from the sinking vessel. However, officials say that as many as 148 crew members remain missing, with hopes of finding additional survivors fading as search operations continue. The strike has prompted concern in Colombo and across the region, including in India, given that the incident occurred in international waters within Sri Lanka's search and rescue zone in the Indian Ocean.
