Military aid has arrived in Saudi Arabia.
Egypt has already sent military aid to Saudi Arabia to deal with the Houthi (Houthi) movement, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty said on Wednesday.
"We have already established a military presence at the request of our brothers and sisters in Saudi Arabia, and we are increasing it," the "National" quoted him as saying.
The minister did not specify the number of soldiers and the types of weapons already in the kingdom.
Along with "hundreds of soldiers," Egypt sent armored vehicles, anti-aircraft batteries and surface-to-surface missiles, sources told Ha'Leumit. The anti-aircraft batteries, according to the interlocutors of the publication, included the Amon system, a short- and medium-range air defense system designed to intercept short-range missiles and UAVs.
One of the sources added that the purpose of the military support in Saudi Arabia is to protect its territories, and not to attack the positions of the Houthis. At the same time, the interlocutor added that Cairo "has the right to defend itself" in the event of an attack.
In October, Egypt's parliament approved military aid to the kingdom to defend against Houthi attacks.
