Did Yemen Damage Pakistan Air Force Figher Jet in Saudi Arabia?

Pakistan has dismissed allegations that an Ansar Allah missile caused damage to its JF-17 fighter jets stationed in Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Information stated on Sunday that there is no trustworthy or official evidence supporting any harm to PAF aircraft in Saudi territory. The ministry labeled the reports as false, attributing them to the dissemination by certain Indian social media accounts.

It asserted that the claims regarding the damaged PAF aircraft and purported evacuation were fabricated. Pakistan has stationed military personnel and equipment in Saudi Arabia pursuant to a defense cooperation agreement signed by the two nations in September 2025. Earlier this week, remnants of a Houthi drone, neutralized by Saudi air defenses, were discovered in Taif, resulting in the death of a Yemeni resident and injuries to a Saudi woman and a critically injured Pakistani individual.

Additionally, several buildings and vehicles sustained damage. Saudi authorities also reported the interception of a drone south of Makkah earlier in the month, although further verification remains pending.
