Two sailors sustained injuries and another lost his leg after an oxygen cylinder exploded onboard Indian naval ship INS Nireekshak on Saturday. The explosion occurred when a diving bailout bottle (an oxygen bottle carried by divers in their diving helmet) was being charged, said an official. The ship was 40 nautical miles off the coast of Vizhinjam at the time.
