4 bodies recovered from a indian submarine

India, August 16 – Indian navy divers have recovered four bodies from a submarine which sank after it exploded in a Mumbai dockyard, with 18 sailors feared dead on board.

 

"Four bodies have been located and extricated… They are severely disfigured and not identifiable due to severe burns," a navy spokesman said.

 

"A search is on for more but finding any survivors is unlikely," he added. Earlier, the navy released names of the 18 missing crew members, whose families have begun arriving in Mumbai. It is not clear what caused the blasts on the diesel and electricity-powered INS Sindhurakshak.

 

An inquiry is under way and sabotage has not been ruled out, although officials say that looks unlikely.
