Pakistan's Ministry of Information dismissed a New York Times report alleging the use of its air force jets against Yemen's Houthis as false.
Pakistan's Ministry of Information has dismissed a report alleging the use of Pakistan Air Force jets against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The ministry characterized the claims as "fake and fabricated." This statement comes amid reports suggesting Pakistani aircraft might have been involved in strikes related to the conflict.
The denial addresses a sensitive geopolitical issue, particularly concerning Pakistan's neutrality and its role within regional security arrangements. The report, if true, would have significant implications for Pakistan's foreign policy and its adherence to international non-intervention principles.
