The article says the target was fuel smugglers.

Why would you expect a PM of a nation to stand up for smugglers.

Targeted Fuel smugglers ???

Indians were evacuated from Yemen. Ones who chose to stay back or went back again to Yemen went in knowing fully well what they are walking into.

 

[PARIKRAMA]

before jumping lets first find out what were 20 indian nationals doing there?
secondly i thot we eveacuated almost all indians from yemen so is the port of hodeidah under hot zone or safe zone?
thridly, the strike is aimed towards smugglers fuel smugglers den. Thus, the question needs to be asked about the credible intel and were 20 indians part of that smuggling ring?.
if not then we can conclude that perhaps its a civilians massacre that had happened as part of the operations. In such a case we should protest at appropriate level.

But before jumping and condemning any country's action against terrorists/smugglers etc lets first ascertain all the facts first.

Reuters had not given all details out so lets hold our horses for some more information before unleashing any reaction

 

[gau8av]

were these Indians actually smuggling fuel or are they collateral ?

 

[TejasMk3]

News says fuel smugglers, currently unclear if they were part of the ops or if they were collateral. Plus Yemen is a no go zone. All the people staying there were staying at their own risk, ones who wanted to leave were evacuated.
Need to wait for more info on this.

Hmmm.. Fuel smugglers ? What exactly were these Indians doing in a war zone.. Weren't all Indians evacuated by Indian navy with much fanfare in Indian media ?

 

[Alpha BeeTee]

Looks like Saudis nay "ghuss Kay Mara hai"


On a serious note,I'm really not sure what were the smugglers doing in the war zone ? And I'm hesitant in calling them innocent civilians.
