Warzone/The Drive: Here's All That's Left Of Iranian Navy Ship Struck By Missile In Friendly Fire Tragedy (Updated)

The naval support ship was laying targets for a training exercise when an anti-ship missile fired from an Iranian frigate slammed into it.

Details still remain limited at this time, but what we know is that an Iranian live-fire naval training event went horribly wrong in the Gulf of Oman when one of the country's own naval vessels was struck by an anti-ship cruise missile on Sunday. The mistake has killed at least 19 Iranian sailors and wounded 15 more.

Images show the vessel's entire upper structure obliterated by the inadvertent strike.
