Pakistan's defence minister said on Tuesday that all of Pakistan's resources are at Saudi Arabia's disposal to protect Islam's holy sites in the Kingdom, restating Islamabad's commitment to Saudi security, Independent Urdu reported.

The statement followed a series of attacks by the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi group on Saudi airports and other civilian facilities, in which more than a dozen people were killed and hundreds injured. According to the outlet, the attacks have heightened concern that the regional fallout from the conflict between the United States and Iran could widen further.
