India said Sunday it was preparing to airlift stranded citizens from war-torn Yemen despite the bombing of the country's main international airport. Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said air evacuations would take place from Yemen, which has been plunged into chaos by a Huthi Shiite rebellion that has triggered Saudi-backed airstrikes on the capital Sanaa. Some 4,100 Indians are currently in Yemen, including 3,100 in Sanaa, 500 in Aden and the rest around the country, the minister said. We will use this slot for evacuating our citizens every day," Swaraj said on Twitter.
