Kuwait is planning to send ground troops to support the Saudi-led war on Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, AFP reports.
Al-Qadas, a local newspaper, cited a source saying that Kuwait's cabinet had approved sending troops to Saudi Arabia, and could begin as early as next week. Kuwait, which is 1 of 11 Arab states in the coalition against the Houthis, has so far limited its role to air support. No further details have been given as to the size of the force on the ground.
Since March, the Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthi rebels after they seized control of large parts of the country. The war has so far left about 6,000 people dead.
