Saudi Arabia turns to Syria for help as fighting with Houthis escalates

Saudi Arabia turns to Syria for help as fighting with Houthis escalates

What's behind this

Saudi Arabia, facing an escalation of Houthi attacks, has turned to Syria for assistance. Syrian officials say fighters are being prepared to deploy along the Saudi border and Syrian military advisers are already in the kingdom. The Houthi movement has claimed a series of strikes on Saudi targets, including King Khalid International Airport, Aramco oil storage facilities, the Financial Centre in Riyadh and other military sites, and has warned of deeper attacks. Saudi forces intercepted a missile attack on Riyadh, though an Aramco unit was damaged, prompting a security alert.
