ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday condemned Houthi ballistic missile attacks targeting Saudi Arabia\u2019s Makkah and Madina regions, including areas near the holy sites, reaffirming its commitment to the kingdom\u2019s security under its defence cooperation agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, the Foreign Office said the attacks on October 24<\/a> constituted a grave violation of Saudi Arabia\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity and demonstrated disregard for the sanctity of Islam\u2019s holiest sites and the safety of civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pakistan reiterated its \u201cunwavering solidarity\u201d with Saudi Arabia and its commitment to the Makkah Alliance, reaffirming support for the kingdom\u2019s security, stability and defence against external aggression or threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement in September 2025, under which an armed attack against either country is to be considered an attack against both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The agreement aims to strengthen defence cooperation and joint deterrence against external threats, reflecting the longstanding security partnership between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Foreign Office also reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s support for protecting the Two Holy Mosques and commended Saudi air defence forces for their vigilance and efficiency in countering the attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The condemnation follows reports on October 24<\/a> that the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen\u2019s Houthis intercepted two ballistic missiles fired towards Taif and Yanbu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saudi Arabia\u2019s Civil Defence briefly issued alerts warning residents of potential danger in Taif, Yanbu, Makkah and Jeddah. About 10 minutes later, the agency said the threat had passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reported interceptions came amid renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Two days earlier, the Houthis said they had targeted the Saudi Defence Ministry in Riyadh, facilities belonging to oil giant Saudi Aramco in Yanbu and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saudi authorities reported that two people were killed in attacks, but had not confirmed the reported strikes in Riyadh and Yanbu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Saudi-led coalition also said on October 22 that it had intercepted drones over Riyadh and Madina. The Houthis denied launching drones towards Madina after the coalition reported interceptions over the holy city and Saudi Arabia\u2019s eastern region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The renewed fighting has shattered a United Nations-brokered truce agreed in 2022 that had largely halted cross-border attacks between the Saudi-led coalition, which backs Yemen\u2019s internationally recognised government, and the Houthis, who control the capital, Sanaa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi – Daily Pak Jazbo Newspaper Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head Office : Ayub Gate Shaikh Muhalla Near Rabbania Masjid Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karachi Office : Office No. 1901-B, 19th Floor Saima Trade Tower (B) Block I.I Chandigarh Road Near Jung Press, Shaheen Complex & National Museum of Pakistan Karachi Sindh Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact : 03009319022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website 1 : https:\/\/paksouch.com\/<\/a> ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Monday condemned Houthi ballistic missile attacks targeting Saudi Arabia\u2019s Makkah and Madina regions, including areas near the holy sites, reaffirming its commitment..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18377,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-26T045820.643.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18376"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18376\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18378,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18376\/revisions\/18378"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Pakistan-Saudi defence commitments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
