PUTRAJAYA: Malaysians in Yemen are reported to be safe, according to the Foreign Ministry.
The ministry (Wisma Putra) has advised them to consider moving to safer locations or returning to Malaysia voluntarily if they feel that their personal safety and security are at risk due to recent United States-led military actions targetting Houthi-controlled areas.
The Malaysia Embassy in Muscat, Oman, is in contact with the 376 registered Malaysians in Yemen and has confirmed their safety, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
The ministry has urged Malaysians in Yemen to stay vigilant, prioritise their safety and security, and assured that it is closely monitoring developments in the country.
"They may also consider moving out to safer places or returning to Malaysia voluntarily if they feel their personal safety and security are at risk," the statement read.
It also strongly encourages Malaysians in Yemen to register with the embassy immediately if they have not done so.
