Turkey and Pakistan announced on Monday, October 5, that they will send military forces to Saudi Arabia, which has been targeted by regular attacks from Yemeni Houthi fighters. This deployment is part of a mutual defense pact linking these countries.
This announcement comes shortly after explosions shook the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The Houthis claimed responsibility for an attack on Riyadh’s international airport as well as a refinery owned by the oil giant Aramco.
