All 14 Indian nationals aboard a yacht involved in an incident off Yemen’s coast have been reported safe, the Indian Embassy in Yemen said Friday.

“Reports suggest that all 14 Indian nationals are safe and located around Hodeidah in Yemen. We will continue to work for ensuring their well being,” the embassy said in a post on X, without providing further details.

The embassy had said Thursday that it was seeking information about the incident and would provide all possible assistance to protect the nationals’ safety and well-being.

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said they were rescuing the people aboard the yacht after it was attacked near Jabal Zuqar island, close to the Bab el-Mandeb strait. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree blamed Saudi forces for the reported attack. Saudi authorities did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment Thursday.

The precise circumstances of the incident remain unclear. The Bab el-Mandeb strait is a major international shipping route.
