Pakistan's military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry vowed on Thursday that his country would provide both diplomatic and military support to Saudi Arabia amid Houthi attacks on Mecca.
The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, has reported fresh Saudi airstrikes and targeted the holy city of Mecca, sparking outrage across the Muslim world.
Last month, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey signed the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, obliging each to defend the other if attacked, a move that could trigger joint troop deployments.
A Turkish diplomat told AFP that Ankara had not received any official request from Riyadh, yet affirmed Turkey's support for Saudi Arabia and the importance of intelligence cooperation.
Pakistan's statement underscores the broader regional tensions between the United States and Iran amid escalating Houthi incursions.
The next step involves finalizing the operational framework of the pact, with the three nations preparing to integrate their air, naval and army forces.
