Saudi chief of staff Gen. Fayyadh al-Ruwaili, Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir and Turkey's Gen. Selcuk Bayraktaroglu met in Riyadh under their mutual defence agreement and reaffirmed their commitment to defending Saudi Arabia's security and territorial integrity, condemning attacks targeting Mecca and Saudi civil and economic infrastructure.

Why it matters

The pact treats an attack on one as an attack on all, but neither Pakistan nor Turkey has yet hit back at the Houthis, so the watchpoint is whether pledges of intelligence sharing and military coordination turn into action.
