Pakistan is prepared to take all possible measures to defend Saudi Arabia and the holy Muslim sites there, spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said in an interview with Arab News:
Pakistan stands completely united with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, both diplomatically and physically.
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey entered into a military alliance in August, with promises to defend one another in the event of an attack.
Saudi Arabia has been waging war against the Iran-backed Houthi movement in neighboring Yemen for more than a decade. Earlier this week, the Sunni Muslim kingdom claimed that its enemy had attempted to attack the holy city of Mecca.
