Pakistan condemns Houthi missile attacks targeting Saudi Arabia's Makkah, Madinah

Pakistan strongly denounced Houthi ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia's holy cities of Makkah and Madinah on October 26. Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi described the strikes as a violation of Saudi sovereignty and reaffirmed Pakistan's unwavering solidarity with Riyadh. The attacks were condemned as a "blatant disregard for the sanctity of Islam's holiest sites and civilian safety," with Pakistan pledging to protect the two holy mosques against external aggression.

The condemnation came amid diplomatic efforts by Pakistan and its regional partners to address tensions in the Middle East and promote peace.
