Ukraine ops: 3 more Air Force aircraft bring back home over 600 Indians

Three more Air Force C-17 aircraft returned to the country on Saturday morning bringing back Indians who were stuck in Ukraine via Romania, Slovakia and Poland.

When these planes took off on Friday evening, they carried 16.5 tonnes of relief load from India to these countries for the war-hit Ukraine where over 1 million people have been displaced since last week.

So far, the Air Force has flown ten planes to bring back 2,056 citzens back to safety under the government's 'Operation Ganga'. About 26 tonnes of relief assistance has been sent to Ukraine and its other neighbouring countries that are also affected by the conflict
