With this flight, around 2,300 people have reached India," EAM Jaishankar tweeted.Sudan is experiencing bloodshed as a result of clashes between the army and paramilitary forces.Fighting has erupted between soldiers loyal to Sudanese army leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, paramilitary Rapid Support Soldiers (RSF) commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.Committed to ensuring that no Indian national is left behind in Sudan, India has deployed its military planes and warships in the war-torn country to bring its citizens safely under Operation Kaveri.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
