Did Pakistan Air Force Bomb Yemen?

Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has firmly denied allegations that its Air Force engaged in combat operations against Yemen's Houthi forces, labeling the claims as "fake and fabricated." This stance was publicly acknowledged in a fact-check post on X, where the ministry emphasized that any military actions would be officially disclosed by the relevant authorities.

The ministry urged international media to refrain from speculative reporting on potential Pakistani military involvement under the Mecca Joint Defense Pact. The Fact Checker MoIB, a representative of the ministry, highlighted the need for responsible reporting and stressed that Pakistan's military presence in the region does not equate to participation in Yemeni conflicts.

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif further clarified that Pakistan and Turkey are present in the area, but the sole combat force involved is Saudi Arabia. This clarification comes as the conflict escalates between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi-aligned Iran forces, with the latter claiming the use of a ballistic missile against a Saudi airport in Riyadh, resulting in three deaths and 36 injuries.

The ministry's stance underscores that the presence of Pakistani forces does not inherently signify complicity in Yemeni airstrikes, and any such claims should be treated with skepticism until verified by official sources.
