Pakistan has issued a warning that a defense pact with Saudi Arabia could be triggered if Yemen’s Houthi rebels persist in targeting the kingdom, escalating regional tensions. The threat comes amid ongoing attacks by the Houthis, who have repeatedly struck Saudi territory, prompting a firm response from Islamabad. The potential activation of the agreement signals a deepening involvement in the conflict, raising concerns about broader military engagement. Analysts are closely watching how this development could reshape alliances in the Middle East.
