Disputed · Damascus, Syria ·
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said at a press conference in Damascus that Syria has not deployed troops to Yemen and has no immediate plans to do so. Several outlets relay the same statement, and Anadolu reports that he said a Saudi military cooperation deal excludes sending Syrian forces. Middle East Eye reports that Yemeni sources told AFP Syrian soldiers were in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and Shaibani's denial responds to that.

Verification
Disputed: 1 independent source.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.

Sources disagree on:
- Yemeni sources who told AFP, as reported by Middle East Eye, that Syrian soldiers were in Yemen and Saudi Arabia contradict Shaibani's statement that Syria has no troops deployed in Yemen.
