Initial indications that Ansarallah may be preparing for an offensive on the Marib axis.

— 🇹🇷/🇸🇦/🇵🇰 Turkish Foreign Ministry:

– At the moment we are not talking about activating the Mecca Defense Pact due to Houthi attacks.

– The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is very well capable of defending itself, and we are monitoring the situation should things develop.

– If Turkey ever gets involved, it will be in a purely defensive capacity.
