In
an interview to a local news channel, Pakistan’s defense minister
Khawaja Asif confirmed: Pakistan may be sending its military troops to
Saudi Arabia’s southern border to protect the Kingdom from Houthi
militias leading Yemen’s minority Shia political groups. Pakistan’s
military however will not be used beyond Saudi borders.
This
media report came shortly after Khawaja Asif himself was quoted
categorically denying any such rumors and reports on Pakistan’s plan to
deploy its troops on the Saudi border. He was seen vehemently
reaffirming Pakistan’s "neutrality" in the Yemen conflict, until his
interview on March 15.
