During emergency talks in Riyadh, Turkiye and Pakistan agreed to send rapid deployment forces to Saudi Arabia. Yemen’s government forces, which are backed by Riyadh, launched a counter-offensive against the Houthis to regain lost territory.
Saudi Arabia says 100 fighter jets took part in Operation Dawn of Yemen, targeting Houthi militia positions.
According to OSINT sources, Pakistani F-16s also reportedly participated in the operation under Mecca Defence Pact.
Saudi-backed Yemeni forces have reportedly regained control of the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, which had previously been controlled by the Houthis.
Saudi Arabia gave 3 million Pakistan jobs, will add million more in 5 years
Saudia gives Pak oil on deferred payments
Saudia bailed Pak economy on numerous occasions with billions of $$
Saudia signed big defense/economic pact with Pak
Not defending Kingdom is not an option
For over two decades in different roles, I have seen Pakistan as a source of solidarity & solutions. But what has always stood out to me is the resilience of the Pakistani people & their determination to build a better future.
My message is simple:
The @UN stands with the people of Pakistan. And I thank the Pakistani people for standing up for the world.
Following the activation of Makkah Defence Alliance, the question on everyone's mind is: will Pakistan join Saudi troops in its offensive against Houthis? What role Pakistan and Turkey may play? More details 👇
یمن میں حوثیوں کے خلاف سعودی افواج لڑ رہی ہیں،اور حو ثیوں سے علاقے واپس لیے ہیں ۔ ترکیے اور پاکستان کی افواج سپورٹ کا کردار ادا کر رہی ہیں۔ حوثیوں نے اسوقت پسپائی اختیار کی ہوئی ہے۔وزیر دفاع خواجہ آصف
The Mecca Alliance did not appear overnight. Signed in August, tested when the Houthis seized Yemen’s Red Sea coast and Bab al-Mandab in September, then activated on Oct 5 as Saudi-backed forces opened Yemen ops and claimed the strait and Mocha back under coalition air cover. Mecca Alliance partner covert, overt and Intel ops are there to be seen. Americans just watched why Riyadh built a second umbrella.
🚨Houthis have no idea what's coming for them !
Full top brass meeting tomorrow Oct 5 in Riyadh!
Foreign ministers, defense ministers & chiefs of general staff from all 3 countries under the Mecca Joint Defense Pact 💀
Field Marshal Asim Munir and General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu are in Saudi Arabia for the Mecca Pact’s strategic committee as Dawn of Yemen opens. The pact commits the three states to treat an attack on one as an attack on all, and they have agreed deeper planning, strategy and intelligence cooperation. Saudi official tells me, Pakistani & Turkish officers on ground with Saudis to support Yemeni push. "We are fighting together!"
The Establishment could not have wished for a better opponent-friend than Suhail Afridi. By acting like an unguided missile he has brought the situation exactly where all final actions in KP look not just imminent but also justified. He has single-handedly hijacked the party's leadership, scuttled the PTI negotiating team and brought the PML-N and the PPP on the same page. His public rants are a thin veil for his hatchet job against his party's interests. And he has done all this in the name of Imran Khan. Amazing character!
@Politicalbua To any Indian this may concern: We Pakistanis aren’t as narrow-minded as some of your fellow countrymen. And, if we’re being honest, you already know that.
He's an Inspector/captain and as per norms he's expected to salute a senior ranked officer (there's a DIG/Brigadier ranked officer on Indian side) of any country if both countries are not at war.
Professionalism 🇵🇰👍
The KP Government had agreed to sign a written agreement and submit an implementation plan within 72 hours, covering
• Reconsideration of the Police Act 2026 in light of the security situation and the need to protect security matters from political interference
• Preventing terrorists from operating freely or finding safe havens in the province
• Unequivocal condemnation of TTP/TTA and all other terrorist groups
• Support for the national policy on Afghan refugees, including repatriation and dismantling Afghan camps in KP
• No contact with the Interim Afghan Government
• Substantial funding for counterterrorism operations and the police
• Full provincial ownership of counterterrorism measures and stronger cooperation with the Armed Forces
• Decisions on counterterrorism in the former FATA and merged districts
• Implementation of the National Action Plan
Last night, during the final phase of negotiations, the KP Government backed out of these commitments. Security must not be politicised while the province is at War
دولت برای مدیریت شرایط ویژه آرایش جدید گرفته است. نقشه دشمن در ماههای گذشته قطع شریانهای حیاتی کشور با هدف فشار به مردم نجیب ایران بوده است. فشار اقتصادی افزایش پیدا کرده اما به لطف خدا، با همراهی مردم و تدابیر همکاران ما در دولت، نگذاشتهایم اهداف دشمن در جنگ اقتصادی محقق شود.
