In a daring operation, a C-130J heavy-lift aircraft of the Indian Air Force rescued 121 people from a small airstrip at Wadi Sayyidna, which is about 40 km north of the violence-hit Sudanese capital city of Khartoum, officials said.
The rescue operation was carried out on the intervening night of April 27 and 28.
Those rescued in the operation included a pregnant woman and those who had no means to reach Port Sudan, the key transit point from where India is rescuing its citizens using military aircraft and naval ships, IAF officials said Friday.
