India has begun evacuation process from Ukraine amid escalating tensions between the European country with its neighbour Russia. 242 Indian students were brought back from Ukraine to India as they landed safely at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International airport.
Dreamliner B-787 aircraft has been deployed for carrying out this special operation under which flights were made operational from Kharkiv in Ukraine to national capital New Delhi. India started evacuation operations of Indian citizens living in Ukraine and its adjoining areas as the situation worsens there.
This comes after India advised students and its citizens to leave the country temporarily. Meanwhile, Indian Embassy in Kyiv has announced additional flights from Ukraine due to increased uncertainty and a rise in tension. "Additional flights are being organised. Four flights from Kyiv to Delhi to operate on February 25, February 27 and March 6, 2022," said the ministry.
