Houthi attack on Mecca, Medina would cross ‘red line’, Pakistan PM tells UN

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated at the United Nations that any further Houthi attacks on the Islamic holy city of Mecca would constitute a "red line" for Islamabad that must never be crossed. Sharif condemned the recent attacks on Saudi Arabia in the strongest possible terms during his address.

The warning follows Pakistan entering into the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia, reinforcing Islamabad's commitment to the security of the kingdom and its holy sites.
