India’s defense minister has said navy personnel died in a submarine explosion in a Mumbai port. Earlier reports stated that at least 18 people have been on board the submarine that caught fire, exploded and partially sank at the naval dockyard.
The blast happened on the INS Sindhurakshak around midnight and was shortly followed by a massive fire. Many of the sailors on board the submarine reportedly managed to jump off to safety, but more than a dozen are feared trapped inside the hull.
"There are some people who are trapped on board, we are in the process of trying to rescue them, we suspect it to be in the range of 18," navy spokesman PVS Satish told Reuters.
The vessel partially submerged after the fire. "We will not give up until we get to them," Satish added.
Several people have reportedly been rushed to hospital following the incident.
