Pakistan Deploys Military in Saudi-led Conflict Amid Domestic Security Challenges
Pakistan's military, under Field Marshal Asim Munir's direct command, has deployed troops and air assets in support of Saudi Arabia amid escalating conflict with Yemen's Houthis. This intervention follows Pakistan's role in the Makkah Pact, a collective defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye. Meanwhile, Pakistan faces multiple security challenges domestically, including militant violence in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, tensions with the Afghan Taliban, and separatist attacks in Balochistan, complicating its regional commitments and internal stability.
