Turkey's navy has evacuated 55 Turkish citizens from Yemen's port city of Aden, the Turkish Foreign Ministry announced in a statement Friday.
According to the statement, "The Turkish navy vessel, TCG Buyukada Frigate, has completed the evacuation of 55 citizens from Yemen's Aden city. Our citizens will first land in Djibouti, from where they will be transported to Turkey via Turkish Airlines."
The Saudi Arabia-led military operation, dubbed "Operation Decisive Storm," has launched numerous airstrikes in Yemen since late Wednesday, which made the situation dangerous for Turkish residents in the volatile country .
"After the launch of the Saudi-led coalition's military operation in Yemen, we have been conducting a rigorous operation to evacuate our citizens in the country," the ministry added.
