Russia-Ukraine crisis: Indian authorities rescue stranded Pakistani student
Asma Shafique is now en route to the country's West for further evacuation
Amid escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, a Pakistani student stranded in the war-hit country was rescued by Indian authorities.
According to sources, Pakistan's Asma Shafique was rescued by the Indian authorities and is now en route to Western Ukraine for further evacuation.
She will be reunited with her family soon, said sources.
After the Indian authorities rescued her, Shafique expressed her gratitude towards the Indian embassy in Kyiv and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for their support.
