In an unprecedented move, the Chinese military sent a warship to Yemen to evacuate 225 foreign nationals from the conflict-ridden country. The operation marks the first time the Chinese military has helped other countries evacuate their citizens from a war zone. A statement released by the China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said evacuees were picked up from Aden, Yemen's second city, and transported across the Red Sea to Djibouti, from where they can take flights home. The naval frigate was redirected there from the coast of Somalia, where it had carried out anti-piracy patrols.
