INS Sindhukesari was returning from a sortie when it hit INS Sindhuratna, which was already docked there. There was no injury to personnel.

A navy spokesperson here said: “It’s a minor incident that occurred while a submarine was attempting to berth alongside another. The incident took place due to a malfunction on one of the submarines.”
