Saudi Arabia says Pakistan sends fighter jets to kingdom under defense pact

Pakistan has sent fighter jets and other military forces to Saudi Arabia to boost security under a defense pact between the two countries, the Saudi defense ministry said on Saturday, as Islamabad hosted talks aimed at ending the Iran war.

The deployment follows a wave of Iranian talks on the Gulf kingdom over the past weeks that struck key energy infrastructure and killed ⁠a Saudi national.

Riyadh and Islamabad signed a mutual defense pact in September 2025, committing both sides to treat any aggression against either country as an attack on both. That significantly deepened a decades-old security partnership.

Saudi Arabia's defense ministry said in a statement that Pakistani fighter jets and support aircraft had arrived at the King Abdulaziz Air Base in the country's eastern province.
