Three bodies found on blast submarine

Divers have recovered the bodies of three sailors who were trapped inside a submarine damaged by twin explosions , a spokesman for the Indian navy has said.

Another 15 seamen who were on board the vessel when the blasts occurred on Wednesday remain unaccounted for.

Navy spokesman Narendra Vispute told reporters in Mumbai that the condition of the recovered bodies suggests it is unlikely that any of the other sailors survived.

He gave no details except to say that DNA tests will be used to identify the bodies.
