The incident occurred early in the morning when the vessel, identified as IRIS Dena, sent a distress signal.

Rescue efforts are ongoing as Sri Lankan forces continue to search the area for survivors. Officials have not yet provided details on the source of the submarine attack or the current condition of the wreckage.
