Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have formally activated their mutual defense agreement in response to escalating attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The move signals a direct escalation in regional tensions as the three nations prepare to coordinate military measures against the group. Analysts warn this could further destabilize an already volatile area, raising concerns over broader conflict in the Red Sea and beyond. The pact’s activation marks a rare trilateral security response in the Middle East.
