Syria officially denies reports of sending troops to Yemen.

Presidential media adviser Ahmed Muwaffaq Zeidan called the reports "lies with no truth" while affirming Syria stands with Saudi Arabia's security.

Syria's Information Ministry issued a separate statement saying Damascus's priority is "rebuilding the country and its institutions," not "opening new fronts."

This directly contradicts today's Axios and Reuters reports saying Damascus was seriously considering Saudi Arabia's request to deploy 10,000-20,000 troops.

The official statement says any military cooperation happens "only through official channels and existing bilateral frameworks."

No Saudi confirmation or denial of the request has been issued.
