The United States (US) Department of Defense on Sunday claimed the drone attack on a Japanese-owned chemical tanker, MV Chem Pluto, near India's coast was launched from Iran. A drone struck the merchant vessel, with approximately 20 Indian crew onboard, off Gujarat's Porbandar coast in the Arabian Sea at around 11:30am (IST) on Saturday. According to a Pentagon statement, the attack caused no casualties but led to a fire aboard the vessel, which was extinguished.
