Bodies of 84 Iranian sailors to be flown home from Sri Lanka

COLOMBO: The bodies of ​84 Iranian sailors killed in a US submarine attack on a warship off Sri Lanka’s coast last week will be repatriated on a plane that an Indian source said will also stop in India to take home crew members from another ship. Iranian warship IRIS Dena was sunk by a torpedo from a US submarine on March 4 while it was returning from a naval exercise in India amid the US-Israeli war on Iran.
