Pakistan Commits Military Support to Saudi Arabia Against Houthi Attacks Under New Pact
Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif stated that Pakistan will use "whatever means are available" to defend Saudi Arabia against Iran-backed Houthi rebels under a new mutual defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Turkey. While Asif did not confirm Pakistani involvement in airstrikes or whether Saudi Arabia requested assistance, he highlighted the Houthis' increased missile and drone attacks and territorial gains along Yemen's Red Sea coast, threatening key maritime routes. The statement followed a recent meeting of army chiefs from the three countries to coordinate responses.
