Pakistan transported four cargo planes filled with weapons to the Saudi-backed government in Yemen, according to a recent report. The deliveries occurred in September and were made to the port city of Aden, a region where the Saudi kingdom is attempting to counter a significant Houthi advance. The Pakistani arms shipments to Aden, as reported by Reuters, indicate an escalation in Pakistan's level of engagement in the conflict.
The arms included air defense systems, light artillery, drones, and anti-drone systems, as cited by Reuters.

According to several Western and Arab officials quoted by Middle East Eye, Saudi Arabia is gearing up for a robust offensive to counter the Houthi offensive, which has extended the group's control to the entire Red Sea coastline of Yemen.
