Indian Embassy Yemen
Rescue of 19 Indian sailors from Yemen has been completed successfully.
All of them were stranded for two weeks in Hodeidah and Sanaa.
This information was officially provided by the Indian Embassy in Yemen.
The embassy stated that all 19 sailors are in good condition.
The Indian Embassy has provided this information in their social media post.
At the same time, arrangements are being made to get them back to India.
The rescue operation has been performed due to rising security threats in Yemen.
Previously, there has been an accident with a ship near Hodeidah on October 23.
According to the report by Indian authorities, 14 sailors were safe.
Local authorities were contacted to investigate that incident.
Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree made a separate claim.
He alleged that Saudi forces targeted an Indian boat near Uqair Island.
According to him, Houthi forces rescued 14 Indian sailors.
However, it remains unclear whether those 14 sailors are among the 19 rescued recently.
Meanwhile, military tensions involving Houthi forces and the Saudi-led coalition remain a concern.
Reports of missile, drone and air attacks have added to regional fears.
