Pakistan warns Houthis: Attack on Saudi Arabia triggers Mecca Defense Pact

Pakistan issued a formal warning to Yemen's Houthis that an attack on any member of the newly formed 'Mecca Defense Coalition'—comprising Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan—will be treated as an attack on all. This marks the first explicit activation threat of the pact, signaling a potential expansion of the conflict. The warning raises the risk of a multi-front regional escalation if Houthi attacks on Saudi territory continue.
