An Indian Air Force plane carrying 168 Indian nationals evacuated from Yemen landed at Kochi on Thursday morning in the government's first major mission to rescue Indians stranded in the strife-torn nation.
The Indian nationals, including nurses and workers, among others, reached home by the special flight -- Indian Air Force's C17 Globemasters -- bringing an end to their about a week-long ordeal.
The flight landed at 2 am.
