Syria is considering sending thousands of troops to support Saudi Arabia in its conflict with the Houthis, according to a New York Times report. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's government already acknowledges growing military cooperation with Saudi Arabia.
However, Syrian officials have not confirmed any combat troop deployment to Yemen. The cooperation they do acknowledge includes advisory roles and an exchange of expertise.
Estimates of the potential troop numbers range from 3,000 to 10,000, but the figures remain unverified.
