The drone that struck a Japanese-owned chemical tanker in the Arabian Sea on Saturday was fired from Iran, the US Department of Defense said on Sunday, an attack that came at a time of heightened fears of maritime trade being targeted further west in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Drone that hit ship was fired from Iran, says US

The US military is in communication with the merchant vessel Chem Pluto as it continues toward a destination in India, the Pentagon said in a statement.

The Indian Navy, in a statement on Sunday, said its explosive ordnance disposal specialists will embark the MV Chem Pluto when it reaches the Mumbai harbour on Monday to sanitise the vessel and undertake further investigation. On Sunday, the Indian Coast Guard patrol vessel Vikram was escorting the merchant ship to Mumbai.

The Indian Navy and the coast guard deployed their assets to aid MV Chem Pluto shortly after it transmitted emergency messages about the attack from a drone. The vessel is carrying chemicals from Saudi Arabia’s Jubail port and was initially headed to New Mangalore. It was struck 217 nautical miles from Porbandar around 11.30am on Saturday, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
