An Indian seafarer has been killed and three others have been injured in an explosion on a ship at Al Hamriyah port in Dubai.
A tweet from the Indian mission in Dubai, retweeted by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, said the Indian seafarer died in the blast.
Two of the injured persons have been shifted to the Mafraq Hospital in Abu Dhabi and another to Khalifa Hospital in Ajman, it said.
