Pakistan expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia at an emergency UN Security Council briefing on Monday, strongly condemning ballistic missile attacks launched by Yemen's Houthi movement against the kingdom's southern territory. Ambassador Usman Jadoon, Pakistan's deputy permanent representative to the UN, reaffirmed Islamabad's support for Saudi Arabia's security and territorial integrity, invoking a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement signed between the two countries in September 2025 that treats any attack on either nation as an act of aggression against both. Pakistan also called on all parties to pursue dialogue and a UN-facilitated political settlement, warning that further escalation risks deepening what is already a severe humanitarian crisis for Yemeni civilians after more than a decade of conflict.
