New Delhi: Three Indian naval personnel were killed in an explosion on one of the country’s oldest destroyers at a naval dockyard in Mumbai, authorities said.
The blast occurred Tuesday in an internal compartment on the Soviet-built INS Ranvir, commissioned in 1986, according to the Indian Navy.
“No material damage has been reported… (A) board of inquiry has been ordered to investigate the cause,”; the navy said in a statement Tuesday.
Broadcaster NDTV quoted sources saying the explosion did not involve weapons or ammunition.
Media reports said 11 people were also injured and were being treated at a navy hospital.
