 Another Chinese warship Weifang also participated in the evacuation efforts by the Chinese government.

China has evacuated 629 of its nationals and 279 foreign citizens from Yemen in four operations, all undertaken by vessels of the naval escort fleet patrolling the Gulf of Aden and waters around Somalia.

Given deteriorating security in Yemen, the Chinese Embassy in Yemen and the country's Consulate General Aden are closed temporarily.
