Yemen's Houthi group said Sunday that Saudi warplanes had carried out 26 airstrikes across five Yemeni provinces over the past 24 hours, while government forces said they had conducted hundreds of attacks against Houthi military targets in the past three days.

Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement on Sunday that Saudi F-15 fighter jets operating from Khamis Mushait Air Base carried out the strikes on Taiz, Al-Jawf, Marib, Dhamar and Saada provinces, according to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

Sarea said the strikes caused casualties but gave no detailed toll, adding that they brought the number of Saudi airstrikes and missile attacks since the current escalation began to 1,085, a figure that could not be independently verified.

Meanwhile, Yemeni government forces said Sunday that they had carried out 756 attacks against Houthi positions, personnel, and military capabilities across several areas of Yemen over the previous 72 hours.

Majid al-Nuzaili, a spokesperson for the government forces, said in a statement on X that the operations destroyed or disabled military vehicles, missile launchers, weapons depots and other equipment.

Al-Nuzaili said that 2,316 Houthi fighters were killed or wounded in the operations.

There was no immediate response from the Houthis to the government forces' claims.

Fighting between Yemeni government forces and the Houthi group has intensified across southwestern Yemen recently after the group seized the strategic port city of Mokha and Mayyun Island in the Bab al-Mandab Strait earlier this month.

Yemen's conflict began in late 2014 when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

At least we don't suck some saudi d!** like your generals do for money.
Sacrificng pakistani soldiers for their interests.

Lol

I know mate, I know. What can I say, we made a pact with Saudi and Turkiye, you made a pact with US and Israel....
 
Why is discussing the potential targets, operation and potential failure to deliver of this pact "attacking" it ?
For your anti-Pakistan brainwashed mind, the Makkah Defence Alliance was only signed on 7 August 2026 — just 52 days ago. Its institutional structure is still being established, and its first Secretary General was only appointed on 23 September. So how exactly can you already be declaring it a “failure”?

For comparison, NATO was established on 4 April 1949. It didn't conduct its first military operation until 1994 in Bosnia, and its major 1999 air campaign against Yugoslavia didn't begin until 24 March 1999 — 50 years after NATO was founded.

And here's another question: why wasn't NATO's Article 5 invoked during the Cuban Missile Crisis or the Vietnam War?

Now tell us, whatever happened to that grand idea of mighty Iran destroying Israel after that tiny, tiny country bombed Iran with approximately 10,800 strikes earlier in the year?

To be brainwashed you need a brain.
 
Azerbaidjan is a zionist regime and Aliyev has Jewish roots.

When Satanyahu cursed Turkey in the Great Hall of the UN, they didnt protest or walk away like the other countries but stood by and listened.

Their time is over. Turkey should go for the Annslusch - like Germany did with Austria in the past.

They are only using Turkey.


Turkey accepted Israel about a century ago, it has been a NATO ally, an important one and has been secular and partially European leaning for most of that period

It's beginning it's journey towards independence but how can it unpick it's state structure overnight

And should it choose radical changes over stability and growth

There is no such thing as a Zionist regime, there are geopolitical calculations and even Iran makes them, so if Iran makes them no one else can claim to be free from it, maybe North Korea

It's dynamic messy but directional trend more significant
 
Btw the Zionists are not concerned about this pact, if they had been the US would have never allowed it
That's not entirely true, we could all be wrong but the Americans just need iran not to be a regional player, so they can retreat, save resources to take on china and NOT be dragged into me wars, hence the pact curtails ambitions of other nations


Everything USA is doing is signalling retrenchment, scaling back NATO, the early Putin outreach, reduction of foreign workers, Venezuela and Greenland etc they want continental focus for a period

Those are just excuses. Pakistan's generals and field marshals have been taking protection money from the al Sauds since at least the 1960s, including for the development of nukes. The implicit security guarantee to the al Sauds has been in place for decades.

And MBS is clearly unhappy with Asim Munir, the de facto ruler of Pakistan, and has not given him a one on one meeting -which is something even Trump did not deny him.
