Indian Navy evacuates 400 people, including 80 individuals

Around 400 people, including 80 Indians were evacuated today from strife-torn Yemen's Al Hodeidah city by the Indian Navy.

The evacuees, mostly foreigners, would be taken to Djibouti, a neighbouring country.

India had closed down its Embassy in Sanaa on April 9 after winding up the air evacuation, officials said.

India has so far evacuated nearly 1,000 foreign citizens from 41 countries along with 4,700 Indians, they added.
