Operation Kaveri: 670 Indians evacuated from Sudan, 360 of them reach Delhi

New Delhi, Apr 26 (PTI) India has evacuated a total of 670 Indian nationals from Sudan and is looking at rescuing more of its citizens from the strife-torn African nation before the end of a tenuous ceasefire between the regular army and a paramilitary force.

A C-130J military transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force brought to Jeddah 392 Indians from Port Sudan in three flights on Wednesday, a day after an Indian Navy ship rescued 278 citizens from that country.

The total number of Indians evacuated from Sudan so far stands at 670, according to official data.
