Hindustan Times · world

A senior Pakistani military official has revealed that Pakistan Air Force fighter jets stationed in Saudi Arabia are being used in strikes against Houthi rebels. This development occurs amidst escalating missile and drone attacks by the Yemen-based group against Saudi Arabia. The strikes follow the signing of the Mecca defence pact in August between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, which mandates mutual defence. Pakistan has confirmed its military personnel are deployed in Saudi Arabia for the kingdom's defence, though specific numbers and locations remain undisclosed.
