NewzOn Thursday, a Houthi drone attack resulted in the first civilian casualty from recent escalations, with falling debris killing a Yemeni resident in Saudi Arabia and injuring two others in Taif. The incident follows a wave of recent missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi shipping, oil facilities, and the area of Makkah.
In response to the escalating threat, a spokesperson for the Pakistan military stated on Thursday that the nation's commitment to Saudi security is unconditional and that Pakistan will go "to any extent" to defend the Kingdom. The pledge comes as the attacks test new collective-defense agreements linking the nuclear-armed South Asian state to Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Arab states and the European Union voiced solidarity with Saudi Arabia following the deadly strike.
