First batch of 278 Indians evacuated from conflict-hit Sudan

As part of the evacuation mission known as "Operation Kaveri," the first group of Indians stuck in the violently unstable Sudan was transported out of the nation by the Indian naval ship INS Sumedha. Arindam Bagchi, a spokesman for the ministry of external affairs, reported that 278 persons were aboard the ship when it sailed from Port Sudan to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
