The body of an Indian national, Manjit Singh, who was apparently killed in a bomb blast at Aden in Yemen, is being carried by stealth frigate INS Tarkash to Djibouti, along with another 450 people evacuated from the port-city .
Manjit Singh, who was working on a foreign merchant vessel Gulf Dove, was reported to have been grievously injured in the bomb blast.“But he succumbed to injuries in a hospital at Aden,“ said an official.
India on Thursday wrapped up its air evacuation operations from Yemen, rescuing another 630 of its citizens from Sanaa, taking the total number of Indians brought home from the war-ravaged country to over 4,640 besides around 960 nationals from 41 countries.
Yemen has been witnessing a battle between Saudi-led coalition and Shiite rebels, who have battled their way into various cities including Yemen in the former stronghold of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who has fled overseas.
