Authorities were now towing it eastward, away from the coast, de Silva said.<a href="https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-india-tanker-blast/sri-lanka-navy-says-no-real-risk-of-spill-on-stricken-supertanker-idUKKBN25V0EE" target="_blank">https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-india-tanker-blast/sri-lanka-navy-says-no-real-risk-of-spill-on-stricken-supertanker-idUKKBN25V0EE</a>"What we see now is just very heavy smoke. The navy is holding the tanker, preventing it from drifting towards the coast and although initially, we planned to tow it into deeper seas, we were unable to do it due to heavy currents," de Silva said.<a href="http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-09/04/c_139343433.htm" target="_blank">http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-09/04/c_139343433.htm</a></blockquote>
