Reports claiming Houthi forces damaged Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fighter jets in Saudi Arabia have been rejected by Pakistan.
The Ministry of Information said there is no credible or official report confirming damage to PAF aircraft stationed in Saudi Arabia.
The reports alleged that an Ansar Allah missile had damaged PAF JF-17 fighter jets at a Saudi air base.
However, Pakistan described the claims as false and said the alleged aircraft evacuation was also fabricated.
Pakistan Rejects Reports of Damaged PAF Jets
The Ministry of Information rejected claims circulating online about damage to Pakistani fighter aircraft.
It said some Indian social media accounts were spreading the reports.
According to the ministry, there is no credible or official confirmation that PAF aircraft suffered damage during a Houthi attack.
The ministry also rejected claims that damaged Pakistani aircraft had been evacuated from Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, the reported damage to PAF JF-17 jets remains unsupported by credible evidence.
Pakistan’s Military Presence in Saudi Arabia
Pakistan has deployed military personnel and equipment in Saudi Arabia under a defence cooperation agreement.
The agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia was signed in September 2025.
The development comes as Saudi Arabia faces repeated attacks involving drones and missiles launched by Houthi forces from Yemen.
Pakistan has also publicly reaffirmed its commitment to Saudi Arabia’s security amid the recent escalation.
Debris From Intercepted Drone Falls in Taif
Earlier this week, debris from a Houthi drone intercepted by Saudi air defences fell in Taif.
The incident killed a Yemeni resident and injured a Saudi woman and a Pakistani resident.
The Pakistani resident was critically wounded, while several buildings and vehicles also suffered damage.
The incident followed a series of reported Houthi attacks involving Saudi territory.
Saudi authorities had also reported intercepting a drone south of Makkah earlier this month.
However, the specific claim about damage to Pakistani fighter jets has not been officially confirmed.
What Is Confirmed About the PAF Claims?
Pakistan’s Ministry of Information has stated that no credible or official source reported damage to PAF JF-17 aircraft.
Consequently, claims about damaged Pakistani jets and their alleged evacuation remain unverified.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia continues to face attacks from Houthi forces amid the wider regional escalation.
For now, the available official information does not confirm that Pakistani fighter aircraft were damaged in the reported incident.
