According to an Indian Navy press release, three naval personnel were killed in a blast in the internal compartment of the Indian Naval Ship INS Ranvir on Tuesday around 4:45 p.m. The ship is currently berthed in Mumbai’s naval dockyard.

Around 11 other personnel were injured and were taken to the Naval Hospital; their conditions are currently stable, according to a Navy official.

“Shortly after the incident, the ship’s crew members responded immediately, and the situation was brought under control.” There has been no major material damage reported. “It was a tragic incident, and the naval personnel died as a result of injuries caused by the explosion,” the press release stated.

Since November 2021, the INS Ranvir had been on a cross-coast operational deployment from the Eastern Naval Command and was due to return to base port soon. According to a Navy official who did not want to be identified, a Board of Inquiry has been appointed to investigate the cause.

The identities of the deceased personnel will not be revealed until their respective family members have been informed of the incident, according to the official. INS Ranvir was commissioned in 1986 as the fourth of five Rajput class destroyers built for the Indian Navy.
