The Saudi-led Arab coalition fighting in Yemen said on Wednesday its troops were redeploying in line with its strategy to support Yemeni forces, but were not withdrawing.
Coalition spokesman, Turki al-Malki, told Reuters reports circulating about a Saudi military withdrawal from south Yemen were "baseless and unfounded".
"Movement and redeployment of troops based on operational and tactical assessment" was a standard operation "in all military forces across the world", Malki said.
