Submarine Attacks Iranian Ship Off Sri Lanka, 101 Missing: Report A submarine attack on an Iranian ship off the coast of Sri Lanka has left at least 101 people missing, according to a report. The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday morning, when the Iranian-flagged oil tanker MT Mercer Street was attacked by a suspected pirate or naval vessel. The ship, which is operated by Dubai-based company Bahri, was traveling from the Middle East to Europe when it came under attack off the coast of Sri Lanka. The vessel's crew sent out a distress signal, and nearby ships rushed to assist in the rescue efforts. The Sri Lankan navy has confirmed that it received several distress calls from the Mercer Street and dispatched multiple vessels to the scene. However, despite their best efforts, no survivors have been found so far, and the fate of the 101 missing crew members remains unknown. According to reports, the attack occurred around 10:30 am local time on Monday morning, when the submarine or naval vessel fired several torpedoes at the Mercer Street. The ship's crew managed to send out a distress signal before the attack, which helped nearby vessels respond quickly to the emergency. The Sri Lankan navy has launched an investigation into the incident and is working closely with international authorities to determine the identity of the attackers. The Indian Navy has also been alerted to assist in the search efforts. The Mercer Street was carrying oil from the Middle East to Europe when it came under attack, and the loss of life has sent shockwaves through the maritime industry. An investigation into the incident is underway, but so far, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.#Dubai #Iran #Sri_Lanka #Indian_Navy #MT_Mercer_Street #Bahri #Sri_Lankan_navy
