Pakistan's Military Announces Defense of Saudi Arabia

Islamabad (Caasimada Online) – Pakistan's military has stated that it will take all necessary measures to defend Saudi Arabia, amid security tensions in the region and concerns over attacks targeting the kingdom.

Pakistan's military spokesperson, Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said in an interview with Arab News that Islamabad supports Saudi Arabia in diplomatic and military aspects.

“We will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the two holy Mosques and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.

This statement came after an attack on the oil pipeline leading to the port of Yanbu, which caused a disruption in the oil exports of Saudi Arabia.

The Houthis have stated that the attacks they are carrying out are a response to airstrikes that Saudi Arabia continuously conducts, while Riyadh has accused the group of carrying out an “aggressive” attack on Mecca. The Houthis have denied the accusations regarding the attack on Mecca.

The alleged attack on Mecca has sparked a strong reaction, with many Islamic countries expressing concern, as attention is focused on the security situation in Saudi Arabia and the potential impact of regional tensions on the holy sites.

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey signed an agreement on August 6 called the “Mecca Defense Agreement,” which stated that an attack on any of the three countries would be recognized as an attack on all of them.

Pakistan is now clearly demonstrating its commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia, particularly in ensuring the security of the kingdom and the two holy Mosques.
