Tripartite patrol activated: Pakistani and Turkish troops deploy in Saudi Arabia.

沙特、巴基斯坦和土耳其之间的三方防御协议首次生效。周一在利雅得举行的紧急会议上，该协议最高委员会决定在沙特王国部署巴基斯坦和土耳其部队。此举正值利雅得支持国际承认的也门政府发动攻势，以夺回上月被胡塞武装占领的领土之际。

伊斯兰堡称此次部署为"防御性"行动，旨在遏制胡塞武装的跨境袭击。此次会议召开前，胡塞武装宣称对沙特目标发动了新的袭击，包括利雅得国际机场和国有石油公司阿美的一座炼油厂。该协议于8月签署，要求三国在遭遇袭击时相互提供帮助。

The conflict in Yemen, a civil war that began in 2014, pits the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels against the internationally recognized government, supported by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia. The Houthis have controlled much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, for over a decade. The war has escalated dramatically in recent weeks, becoming the most active front of the broader Middle Eastern conflict, with over 184,000 displaced people.

The situation deteriorated further last month when the Houthis seized large stretches of the Red Sea coast, including the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital passage for global maritime traffic. Since then, the Houthis have intensified missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, repeatedly striking critical oil infrastructure. In response to this growing threat to its security and energy exports, Saudi Arabia signed a mutual defense pact with Pakistan and Turkey in August, which is now being activated for the first time.
