Pakistan warns Houthis: attack on Saudi Arabia triggers Mecca Defense Pact response

Pakistan issued a formal warning to Yemen's Houthis that an attack on any member of the newly formed 'Mecca Defense Pact'—comprising Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan—will be treated as an attack on all. This signals a potential expansion of the conflict and a new collective defense arrangement in the region. The pact's activation remains untested, and the Houthis' response is uncertain.
