Houthi rebels have launched attacks on Saudi Arabia’s Jazan and Najran airports, according to Al Jazeera. The strikes caused casualties and damaged infrastructure. The attacks occurred as part of ongoing tensions in the region.
Saudi Arabia has activated the Mecca defence pact, a security agreement aimed at protecting holy sites. Turkey and Pakistan have agreed to rapidly deploy military forces to bolster Saudi security. The pact was established to safeguard religious and cultural landmarks.
The Mecca defence pact was first announced in 2023 in response to regional instability. It involves coordinated military efforts between Saudi Arabia and its allies. The recent attacks highlight the continued threat posed by Houthi forces in Yemen. The situation remains under close monitoring by regional and international observers.
