Description: On the 7th of October, the Houthis of Yemen launched a major attack across Saudi Arabia, hitting the King Khalid airbase in Riyadh, Aramco facilities in Riyadh and Jeddah, the Abha International airport, the Khamis Mushait airport and military camps in the city of Jazan. This is now the second day of consecutive attacks after Saudi Arabia activated the Mecca Pact on the 5th of October. After the Mecca Pact's activation, Pakistan and Turkey have agreed to deploy troops and weapons to protect the Saudi Kingdom. As per reports, Pakistan has already sent fighter jets, drone units, air-defence guns, artillery guns and military advisers to Saudi Arabia, including to Riyadh which was struck by a Houthi Ballistic missile. Will Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir retaliate against the Houthis? Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.
