In response to attacks by the pro-Iranian Houthi militia in Yemen on Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan have decided to send troops to Saudi Arabia. The three countries announced this decision after an emergency meeting of the so-called Mecca Defense Alliance in Riyadh. The deployment will take place within the framework of the national laws of the three states. The meeting was triggered by an attack on a power distribution station in Medina, which supplies electricity to the Prophet's Mosque, one of the most important holy sites of Islam. The Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen stated that the Houthi group had attacked the facility. The Saudi defense minister spoke of solidarity and unity in the face of attacks on the kingdom and holy sites. In August, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey signed a joint defense agreement under which an armed attack on any member state would be considered an attack on all three.
