Pakistan Air Force Reportedly Conducts Air Strikes Against Houthis in Yemen
Reports indicate that Pakistan Air Force fighter jets have participated in strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, following the activation of the Makkah Accord between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey. Pakistani military officials, speaking anonymously, said the role focuses on air support to counter Houthi drone and missile threats rather than ground combat. Pakistan has troops stationed in Saudi Arabia but has not publicly confirmed direct combat involvement, maintaining operational secrecy amid regional tensions.
