Pakistan has formally invoked the Mecca defence pact in response to recent threats issued by Houthi rebels against Saudi Arabia, declaring an attack on one as an attack on all.
The move signals a heightened security stance by Islamabad, which maintains strong geopolitical ties with Riyadh and is committed to the protection of the kingdom's sovereignty.
The invocation of this specific regional security agreement serves as a direct warning to the Houthi movement regarding their hostile actions toward Saudi territory.
