Saudi Arabia Sends Conflicting Messages On Their Military Buildup Near The Yemen Border (Update)

Reuters: Saudi military buildup at border with Yemen is defensive: two Saudi sources

(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's military buildup near its southern border with Yemen is purely defensive, two Saudi sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

"We are protecting our borders only," said one of the sources when asked if the kingdom planed to intervene in Yemen.

"Tanks have been moved to the border but this is only to defend the country," said the second Saudi source.

WNU Editor: It appears that Saudi Arabia's threat to enter the Yemen civil war is all bluff.
