Thousands of Syrian troops are set to deploy to Saudi Arabia and Yemen, with some already on the ground, multiple Yemeni officials tell AFP, as Riyadh rallies international help to repel the Houthis and bolster the government in Aden.
Hundreds have already been deployed to both sides of the border, according to three separate Yemeni military sources and a defence official.
A source from Yemen’s presidency and another from its defence ministry adds that thousands more are set to be deployed to help with the fight against the Houthis.
