Ensuring the lives of the crew likely wasn’t a major concern. More likely ensuring a mission kill was. Hence why they reportedly used two torpedoes.
Looks like Multiple secondary explosions and it looks like the Stern separated from the boat.
She went down quickly. No doubt about it. Reported figures from the Sri-Lankan Navy and Coast Guard who responded to the Distress Call. Report 32 survivors pulled from the water thus far.
Geographic proximity I’d have to guess. She was torpedoed and sunk about 40 nautical miles from the city of Galle in southern Sri-lanka. Just outside the boundaries of their territorial waters actually
Her location was likely well known for quite some time prior to last weekend. And planning on having a neutral party around /close by for cleanup is most civilized.
War sucks. Soldiers are mostly just doing their job, and they get caught in the conflict. Its good that the top commanders were included in the casualty list before this.

Wonder who made sure the Sri-Lankan Navy was close at hand ?
