On the night of 18 June, 20 South Korean citizens and their family members were evacuated from Iran to Turkmenistan by land. This was reported by the IIC of Turkmenistan.

Among those evacuated were 18 citizens of the Republic of Korea and two Iranians who are members of their families. The group left Tehran on 17 June and, with the assistance of South Korean embassy staff, crossed the border into Turkmenistan, after which they were transported to Ashgabat in vehicles provided by the embassy.

The South Korean Foreign Affairs Ministry sent a task force to Turkmenistan to coordinate assistance. The evacuees were provided with accommodation and consular support, and their return home is being organised.
