Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey have agreed to move toward the rapid deployment of military forces and capabilities to Saudi Arabia amid escalating attacks by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement.
The decision followed an emergency meeting in Riyadh under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, with the three countries agreeing to take measures to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s defence capabilities.
The development comes as fighting intensifies in Yemen, where Saudi-backed government forces have launched a major offensive against Houthi forces along the country’s western coast.
Saudi Arabia has also reported attacks targeting Najran and Jizan airports, with three people reportedly injured.
The latest move could have wider implications for Gulf security, Red Sea shipping and the broader Middle East conflict, particularly as military tensions continue to rise around Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
The exact number of troops involved, deployment timeline and operational roles of Pakistani and Turkish forces have not yet been publicly detailed.
