Some 125 Ethiopian migrants left the Yemeni southern port city of Aden on Monday towards Addis Ababa, a government official said.
"A plane of Yemen's Airways took off from the international airport in Aden with 125 Ethiopian migrants on board," the local government official said on condition of anonymity.
He said that the International Organization for Migration (IOM) voluntarily evacuated the Ethiopian migrants from Yemen through Aden airport.
The official confirmed that the IOM hired the Yemeni Airways plane and covered all the travel expenses for the Ethiopian migrants.
Several previous voluntary evacuations that included thousands of Ethiopian and Somali refugees were conducted by the IOM due to the prolonged war that began in 2015.
The grinding war has pushed over 20 million Yemeni people to the verge of starvation.
