An Indian national, Rakki Kishan Gopal, stranded on Yemen's Socotra Island for several weeks, has been successfully evacuated. She traveled via a special Yemenia flight to Jeddah on January 7 and returned to India the following morning. The evacuation occurred amidst escalating political and military tensions in Yemen, which have disrupted travel and stranded foreign nationals. Recent developments include a transfer of control over military sites and diplomatic efforts to ease conflict.
