Pakistan pledges support for Saudi Arabia amid Houthi tensions
Most outlets reported that Defence Minister Khawaja Asif stated Pakistan is prepared to defend Saudi Arabia using "all available means" or "whatever means" in response to Houthi threats.

A few outlets, such as the Business Recorder and Dawn, noted the mention of a new mutual defence pact or potential military involvement, while others, like Minute Mirror and Pakistan Today, focused more broadly on the pledge of support without specifying the nature of the means.
