Thousands of Syrian soldiers will be added in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, AFP reports

Thousands of Syrian soldiers are being deployed to Saudi Arabia and Yemen to assist in the conflict against Houthi militants. Currently, hundreds are already present on both sides of the border. This deployment was agreed upon during a recent visit by Syrian President Ahmad Shari to Riyadh, with an initial contingent of 3,000 soldiers planned, eventually reaching 10,000. Syrian troops are training government forces in drone operations, while also conducting drone missions against the Houthis. The conflict has escalated recently, with increased tensions following retaliatory strikes by Yemeni government forces. The war has resulted in significant casualties and displacement of civilians.
