    It's been reported that around 200 Pakistan nationals stuck in the south of Yemen have been evacuated by Chinese military vessels.

    According to the Pakistan foreign ministry, these people were scheduled to be transported by the Chinese navy to Djibouti yesterday. From there they will return home to Pakistan by plane.

    The conflicts escalated in Yemen with the airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition on the rebel forces in Yemen since March 26. Chinese navy fleets have started evacuating Chinese nationals in Yemen since then.

    There were an estimated 3,000 Pakistan nationals waiting to be evacuated from Yemen since the airstrikes. And over 500 have already returned home taking planes sent by the Pakistan government by March 31.
