Even as the Sudan conflict rages on, another batch of the Indian Air Force C-130J flight with 135 stranded Indians took off from the crisis-hit country on Friday.
This is the 12th batch of stranded citizens heading to Jeddah. “An IAF C-130J takes off from Port Sudan with 135 passengers for Jeddah. This marks the 12th batch of stranded Indians evacuated under #OperationKaveri,” Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi tweeted.
Along with this development, INS Sumedha, which is stationed at Port Sudan, had also left the crisis-hit country with 300 passengers onboard for Jeddah.
As many as 2,400 Indians have evacuated from Sudan, where the country is experiencing bloodshed as a result of clashes between the army and paramilitary forces.
“Nearly 2,400 Indians evacuated! INS Sumedha departs from Port Sudan with 300 passengers onboard for Jeddah. 13th batch of Indians evacuated under #OperationKaveri,” Bagchi said in another tweet.
