Pakistan rules out immediate military response to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia

Pakistan's foreign ministry stated that no military action is currently under discussion under its joint defence agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, despite recent Houthi attacks on Saudi territory. The statement signals a deliberate de-escalation stance, deferring any response until circumstances require. This reduces near-term risk of a broader regional conflict involving Pakistan, though the commitment to act if needed remains.
