Sanaa: At least 20 Indians were killed by Saudi-led coalition air strikes on fuel smugglers at Yemen's Hodeidah port on Tuesday, residents and fishermen said. They said two boats were hit in the attack on an area called al-Khokha near Hodeidah port.
On Tuesday morning it was reported that Saudi-led alliance launched more air strikes on Yemen's capital and more foreign troops were reported to be moving into the country as the campaign to rout Houthi forces intensified.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of External Affairs said it has no information about the reports that 20 Indians have been killed in Saudi-led strikes in Yemen.
"We are ascertaining the facts about the reports," MEA spokesman Vikas Swarup said when asked about reports that 20 Indians had been killed in Saudi-led strikes in Yemen. Some media reports, quoting residents and fishermen, earlier claimed that at least 20 Indian nationals were killed in air strikes by Saudi-led coalition forces on fuel smugglers at Yemen's Hodeidah port on Tuesday.
They claimed two boats were hit in the attack on an area called al-Khokha near Hodeidah port. India does not have Embassy in Yemen, which was shut down in April after evacuation of its nationals.
