At 12:29 UTC on 6 October 2026, Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners formally activated a mutual defence pact after a series of Houthi missile and drone strikes on Saudi infrastructure. The activation was announced in a joint statement that cited the attacks as a direct breach of the 2024 security agreement. Yahoo reported the activation came as Houthi drones struck a refinery in Yanbu, prompting the quick response.

Within hours, Turkey confirmed deployment of troops and air‑defence systems to Saudi territory, stating the forces would arrive within weeks, and Pakistan pledged a combat contingent to reinforce the Saudi front. Foreign Policy reported the pact now links the three nations in coordinated operations against Houthi targets, positioning the alliance for immediate joint action. The Times added that Turkey's air‑defence component will comprise Patriot batteries, while Pakistani units are expected to operate alongside Saudi forces on the ground.
