All Indian nationals in Syria reported safe after opposition takes Damascus
All Indian nationals in Syria are reported safe following the opposition's takeover of Damascus. The Indian embassy remains operational and is in contact with citizens in the country. India had previously advised around 90 citizens to leave Syria and urged caution for those unable to depart. The situation escalated as militants captured key cities, culminating in the fall of Damascus after 11 days. President Bashar al-Assad has stepped down and fled Syria. The Indian community in Syria has significantly decreased due to the ongoing civil war, now totaling 92 individuals.
