The 11 people rescued by the Pakistan Navy to return to India by special plane at 5pm today. The Indians arrived at Karachi port on Tuesday after sailing from Mokallah in Yemen, where they were rescued by Pakistani naval personnel onto the PNS Aslat.

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif offered a special plane to transport them back to India, which was accepted by the Indian government.

Last week, India evacuated three Pakistani nationals from Al Hodeidah to Djibouti as part of its rescue mission for Indians.
