Pakistan, Turkiye Military Chiefs Head to Riyadh

Al Jazeera · world

Pakistan and Turkiye are sending their military chiefs to Riyadh for an urgent meeting with Saudi Arabia to discuss implementing their mutual defence agreement. This comes in response to escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi territory, including recent missile and drone strikes targeting Riyadh and Yanbu. The Mecca Joint Defence Agreement treats an attack on one signatory as an attack on all. The meeting aims to explore ways to support Saudi Arabia amid the ongoing conflict in Yemen, which has seen regional spillover.
