Qatar has condemned a Houthi attack on the Najran region in Saudi Arabia, which injured several civilians. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement rejecting the targeting of civilians and affirming its solidarity with Saudi Arabia's response to the attack, according to Middle East Eye.
Saudi Arabia has recently signed a joint defence agreement with Turkey and Pakistan. The pact, signed in Mecca, stipulates that an attack on any of the three states shall be regarded as an attack against them all, as reported by MyJoyOnline Ghana and Dawn. The agreement aims to strengthen collective security and promote peace, security, and stability in the region.
The joint defence pact comes amid regional tensions, with Saudi Arabia facing threats from the Houthis. According to the Jerusalem Post, former national security adviser Brig.-Gen. Prof. Jacob Nagel said Saudi Arabia is "less powerful than it may seem" and is seeking alternative alliances, including a recent agreement with Iran.
