India
tonight evacuated more than
300 Indians from Yemeni port city of Al Hudaydah, taking the total number of those rescued to over 800 from the
strife-torn country as government stepped up efforts to get clearance
for air sorties to bring back its nationals from Sanaa.
"INS
Sumitra proves to be a 'good friend'. Docks in Al
Hudaydah for the evacuation of 300 plus Indian
nationals," the
Spokesperson in the External Affairs Ministry said.
The Navy
vessel INS Sumitra, which had evacuated 350 Indians from Aden
on Tuesday night, was dispatched to Al Hudaydah yesterday to pull out over 300 Indians from there.
They will reach Djibouti tomorrow morning and then
will be flown back to the country.
