Dhaka/New Delhi/IBNS: Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday thanked his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi for evacuating nine citizens of her country from the war-hit country Ukraine, media reports said.
Under its evacuation mission dubbed as Operation Ganga, India has rescued citizens, mostly students, from various other countries including Pakistan and Bangladesh who were stranded in Ukraine, which is fighting a war against Russia.
Earlier an ANI video showed a Pakistan girl thanking the Modi government for rescuing her from Ukraine.
Meanwhile, 23 Indian sailors, who were stranded in Ukraine's Mykolaiv Port, have been successfully evacuated and are on their way to Bucharest, the Indian Embassy in Ukraine said.
The 23 Indian sailors are part of a group of 75 Indian sailors who were stranded in Mykolaiv Port in southern Ukraine.
On Tuesday, 52 of them were moved out, along with two Lebanese and three Syrian sailors. The remaining 23 were moved out later on Tuesday.
