Sri Lanka<\/a> began offloading 208 crew members from a second Iranian vessel a day after 87 people were killed and several others were still missing following a U.S. submarine strike on an Iranian warship in the same region.<\/p>\n

“After detailed discussions with all parties, Sri Lanka has decided to assist the Iranian vessel,” Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake told reporters at a press briefing in Colombo, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

Among the crew members being offloaded the ship, which is near the port of Colombo, were 53 officials, 84 cadets, 48 senior sailors and 23 sailors, Dissanayake said.<\/p>\n

The Iranian ship<\/a>, the IRIS Dena, was sunk Wednesday off Sri Lanka’s coast in the Indian Ocean. Officials there have dispatched two freezers to store 87 bodies recovered at sea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the ship was “effectively neutralized” in a Navy “fast attack” using a single Mark 48 torpedo. He added that the U.S. Navy achieved “immediate effect, sending the warship to the bottom of the sea.”<\/p>\n

Iran contends the ship was sunk in international waters without warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The U.S. will bitterly regret the precedent it has set,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Iran has asked Sri Lanka to assist with the repatriation of the bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sri Lankan officials said the Dena was on its way home after taking part in a naval exercise organized by India<\/a> in the Bay of Bengal from Feb. 18 to 25.<\/p>\n

Search and rescue operations would continue for an estimated 10 people who remain unaccounted for, they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
