Breaking News: Yemen's Houthis strike Saudi Arabia's Abha airport with missiles and drones in a sharp escalation

Then the opponents of the Houthis (I.e. the faction in power in Aden) have an equivalent claim. It remains a civil war, backed by external powers who are functioning through "proxy influence". Anyway, I actually agree with your last statement. The problem is that the Houthis have now escalated the matter. I hope some negotiated settlement can still be found quickly!

Never forget.....

Somalis are killing Pakistanis. A forward operating base in Aden is of absolute necessity.

We cant handle our FOB's at home nevermind abroad. Pakistan's focus should be internal security first and foremost. I say let the fat, lazy Saud's fight the war they created themselves.

its a shame that saudis despite the best war toys on the block still need Pakistan , Turkey and all the hired mercernaries to fight the Yemeni frighters in sandals

I do agree Houthis Guerrilla fighters aren’t going to be knocked out by fancy Saudi airstrikes alone. It would take boots on the ground. And as the lots of experts have said, the Yemeni Government doesn’t stand a good chance long term.

If the Saudis want control of BEM back, they will need to send thousands of troops. As stated, the Saudis maybe don’t have much stomach for that. But if it’s doing that or losing all shipping south, which will they pick

Even if Mecca Pact infantry show up, and IF they attack with the Saudi Yemeni forces, Pakistan and Turkiye won’t do it unless the Saudis supply as many . At least , that’s surely the minimum their leaders will accept.

There's little hope at home, maybe Pakistan will get lucky away from home.

looks like Mohammad Bin Soliman brought back some Indian curse with him when he visited India and made billions of dollars of trade deal.
what Indian curse you say?
the one which results in the top Russian and French war toys being destroyed by Pakistani airforce.

Saudis have also managed to loose F-15 and Turkish drones to emgargoed people of one of the poorest country in the region.

Useful idiots for Saudi in Mercedes and Israeli Islamaphobes

its a tragedy that we Muslims are neck deep fighting the wars for Israel and America.
we see this tragedy in middle east from Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen from a sectarian angle only.
we have gone so far in this hatred that we saw the destruction of Lebanon, Gaza and Syria at the hands of Israel while the GCC has been pounding Yemen for so many years and now it has demanded Pakistan to come and help.

Spot On. Pakistan army can barely protect itself and it's assets, never mind taking on a force located miles away from its borders. Even if the army could theoretically do it, why would you do so for Saudis anyway? Let them play the game they started, no need for our involvement.

in Yemen in 1960s and said they were some of the toughest and most formidable fighters

For a time under Obama, US was supporting Houthis to target AQAP... Saleh was a conduit... Yemenis got angry at being bombed... but the tide turned... Saleh was sacked... Houthis took over Sana'a... and those AQAP fighters became the brigades for PLCs... for a while Giants refuted that they had'em... claiming that they're in fact targeting them...

Come in, Golani and his gang... and now AQAP... the Syrian franchise and African franchises are coming together for the ground component... though...
