Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated Pakistan will go "to any extent" to defend Saudi Arabia against attack in a statement to Arab News. The military spokesperson characterized the nation's commitment to Saudi security as unconditional after a Houthi drone was intercepted south of Mecca on Tuesday, marking the second such attempt since 2017.

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stated the time has come to implement the Mecca defense pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkiye. Arabic sources report Pakistan's Interior Minister travels to Iran in the coming hours following an official pledge of full commitment to the defense of the Saudi state.
