Three-hundred-and-fifty Indians were rescued on Tuesday by the Indian Navy from the strife-torn Yemen's Aden city.

INS Sumitra took the people to the neighbouring territory of Djibouti, which lies across the Red Sea.

The evacuation process was initiated after India got approval on Tuesday to dock its ship at the Aden harbour. Meanwhile, Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speed up the evacuation of Indians stranded in the conflict zone of Yemen.
