Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan to Meet Over Increased Houthi Attacks
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan are set to hold an urgent high-level meeting under their joint Mecca Defence Agreement to support Saudi Arabia amid intensified attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. The Houthis have launched multiple missile and drone strikes targeting Saudi cities including Mecca, Jeddah, and Yanbu, disrupting oil flows. Saudi authorities intercepted several ballistic missiles, and the kingdom's top religious authority urged readiness to defend against the Houthis. The foreign ministers condemned attacks on civilian sites and affirmed Saudi Arabia's right to self-defense.
