Kuwait has decided to send ground forces to take part in the war on Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels, a local newspaper reported Tuesday.
Al-Qabas daily cited an informed source saying Kuwait’s cabinet has approved sending the troops to Saudi Arabia, which is leading a coalition against the rebels, as soon as early next week.
Kuwait’s participation in the Yemen war has so far been limited to the airforce.
