  "summary": "Turkey has announced its intention to examine Saudi Arabia's military requirements as part of a defence pact, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan. The statement was made in response to ongoing attacks by Yemen's Houthis, which Turkey views as unacceptable interference in Saudi Arabia's affairs. The Joint Defence Agreement, signed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan in August, stipulates that an attack on one member nation would be considered an attack on all three.",
