Turkey is sending mainly defensive and technical support to Saudi Arabia to help it fight Yemen’s Houthis, two officials said on Wednesday, according to Reuters, in a text republished by the Jerusalem Post.

The support expected would be only military equipment, intelligence sharing and weapons systems, with no other form of deployment by the alliance so far, according to the officials. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, after a meeting of the Mecca alliance, that the sides had discussed what support to provide Saudi Arabia for its defensive capabilities.
