Tanker ship off India hit by attack drone 'fired from Iran': Pentagon

IndiaTimes Sunday, 24 December 2023
A Japanese-owned chemical tanker was targeted by a drone strike off the coast of India, according to the Pentagon. This incident marks an expansion of risks to commercial shipping beyond the Red Sea. The tanker, named MV Chem Pluto, was operated by a Dutch entity and owned by a Japanese company. The drone strike occurred 200 nautical miles off the coast of India and no US Navy vessels were nearby. This is the first time that the Pentagon has openly accused Iran of directly targeting ships since the start of Israel's war on Hamas.
