Indians in Yemen air strike NOT dead: MEA

News that 20 Indians have been killed by a Saudi-led alliance in air
strikes on fuel smugglers at a Yemeni port yesterday, is untrue, says the ministry of external affairs. NDTV quoting the foreign ministry says 13 of the 20 Indians are alive, while seven are believed to be missing.
The alliance,
made up mainly of Gulf Arab countries, has increased air strikes on
Sanaa and other parts of the country since Friday, when a Houthi missile
attack killed at least 60 Saudi, Bahraini and United Arab Emirates
soldiers at a military camp east of Sanaa.
They were part of a force preparing to assault the capital, which the Iranian-allied Houthis seized last September.
