Listen Later

A US submarine has sunk an Iranian naval ship in the Indian Ocean approximately 40 kilometres off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing more than 80 sailors in America's first torpedo attack since World War II. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth confirms this is the first sinking of an enemy ship since WWII, as the conflict widens with Iranian retaliatory strikes in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Israeli ground operations continue in Lebanon displacing tens of thousands, while Kurdish groups in northern Iraq await potential deployment for cross-border operations into Iran.
