[Pakistan military says it will support Saudi Arabia “at all costs”] September 18th: The Gulf country Saudi Arabia is currently facing increasingly fierce attacks by the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. As an ally that has entered into a mutual defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan’s response has attracted much attention from the outside world. In an interview on the 17th, a spokesman for the Pakistani military stated that Pakistan would support Saudi Arabia "at all costs", including assisting in the defense of the holy religious sites of Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. Yemen's Houthi armed forces launched a new wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia this week. Saudi Arabia accused the other party of trying to attack Mecca with a drone, which was intercepted and destroyed by Saudi air defense forces. The Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation later issued a statement condemning the Houthis. The Houthis deny attacking Mecca and accuse Saudi Arabia of "lying". Pakistani military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said in an interview that Pakistan will support Saudi Arabia "diplomatically and substantively" and "will do whatever it takes to protect the security of the Holy Land and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
