14 Indians Aboard Yacht Involved In Incident Off Yemen Coast Safe, Embassy Confirms

Fourteen Indian citizens aboard a yacht involved in a recent incident off Yemen's coast have been confirmed safe by the Indian Embassy. The vessel, which was likely near Hodeidah, Yemen, was reportedly targeted by Saudi forces in the Red Sea, according to Arab media reports on Thursday. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the yacht carried 14 Indian nationals and that Houthi forces were conducting rescue operations.

However, the Indian Embassy has not confirmed the responsible party for the attack. It has assured that it will continue to work to ensure the safety and well-being of the 14 Indian nationals on board. The embassy is currently gathering information and contacting various parties to establish the full circumstances of the incident.

Rising regional tensions between Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia, as well as an attack on an Indian national in Saudi Arabia, have contributed to the current situation.
