The Embassy of India in Yemen has successfully evacuated 19 Indian seafarers stranded in Hodeidah and Sana’a for the past two weeks. In a statement posted on social media, the Embassy said all the seafarers are safe, in good health and on their way back to India.
It also thanked all concerned for their cooperation in the evacuation operation. In another development, the Saudi-led coalition said its air defence systems intercepted two ballistic missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia towards Riyadh. Residents in parts of Saudi Arabia were also alerted to take shelter amid rising regional tensions.
