NEW DELHI, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Indian navy rescuers Monday extricated one more body from INS Sindhurakshak, taking the number of victims recovered from the ill-fated submarine to seven, said Press Trust of India.

The report quoted naval sources as saying the body has been taken to state-run J J Hospital in Mumbai for postmortem.

Eleven navy personnel remained missing in the naval tragedy which took place early last Wednesday in downtown Mumbai.

Indian Defense Minister A.K. Antony said ignition of armament could be the cause of two explosions which sank the vessel.
