Pakistan and Turkey to provide military support to Saudi Arabia amid war with Houthis
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported59m ago
Pakistan and Turkey are set to rapidly deploy troops and provide military support to Saudi Arabia following a mutual defense pact known as the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, which was signed in August. The announcement was made in a joint statement following an emergency meeting of the three nations, framed around the Gulf kingdom's escalating conflict with Yemen's Houthi movement.
The deployment represents a formal consolidation of defense ties between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey through the newly established Makkah Alliance. The military assistance is a direct response to ongoing security threats and attacks directed at Saudi territory from neighboring Yemen during the protracted war with the Houthis.
