U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed at a Pentagon briefing that the U.S. had sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. The strike triggered a distress call, prompting Sri Lankan armed forces to launch a search and rescue operation, Reuters reported. Sri Lankan authorities said they had rescued over 30 people thus far and recovered bodies from the sea. At least 87 died in the strike. #mothershipabroad
