Fourteen Indian sailors on board a yacht which was attacked in the Red Sea on Thursday have been rescued, New Delhi’s mission in Yemen has said.

“Reports suggest that all 14 Indian nationals are safe and located around Hodeidah in Yemen,” the Indian mission in Yemen said in an X post on Friday. The embassy will continue to work to ensure their well-being, it added.

On Thursday, the embassy said Indian officials were working to find out more details about the reported strike on the yacht. It said information was sparse due to the conflict in the region.

“We have reached out to different parties to establish the circumstances and facts of the incident and hope to update as soon as authentic information becomes available,” it said in the X post.
