Divers Struggle To Search Indian Submarine That Exploded in Mumbai
Crew yet to be reached
Indian divers are struggling to search a submarine which sank after it exploded in a Mumbai dockyard with 18 sailors feared dead inside.
Rescuers are yet to reach any of the crew who were on board when two huge explosions led to a devastating fire early on Wednesday.
Officials say they have been hampered by poor visibility, restricted space and equipment displaced by the blasts.
The divers are also working to bring the vessel back to surface.
