Syria's foreign minister denies any agreement to station Syrian forces in Yemen, says any deployment would not be hidden

Syria reportedly plans to send thousands of troops to Yemen and Saudi Arabia under a new defense pact, and hundreds of Syrian soldiers are already stationed on both sides of the Saudi-Yemeni border, Yemeni military sources and a defense official say. Foreign Minister al-Shaibani told Al Hadath that any Syrian military deployment outside the country would not be hidden, and denied any agreement with Yemen's legitimate government to station Syrian forces there, while saying Syria stands with that government against Houthi attacks. Neither Damascus nor Riyadh has publicly confirmed the combat plan.
