India evacuates embassy staff from Yemen capital

India today evacuated all its staff from its embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, days after wrapping up a massive rescue operation under which over 4,700 Indians were brought home from the war-ravaged country.
"We have evacuated our embassy staff from Yemen today," External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said.
India had closed down the embassy in Sanaa on April 9 after winding up the air evacuation.
India had also evacuated nearly 1,000 foreign citizens from 41 countries.
