RIYADH: Turkish and Pakistani military aircraft arrived in Saudi Arabia on Friday as officials prepared for urgent consultations following recent attacks by Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, also known as the Houthis, against the kingdom.
According to the supplied flight information, a Turkish Air Force Gulfstream G450 carrying registration 11-002 and a Pakistan Air Force G450 registered as 4270 landed in Riyadh.
The arrivals come as Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia move towards closer consultations over the regional security situation and attacks targeting Saudi territory.
However, the supplied information does not identify the passengers aboard either aircraft or provide details about the exact agenda of the Riyadh discussions.
Riyadh Meeting Follows Recent Ansarallah Attacks
The reported meeting comes amid heightened security concerns following missile and drone attacks attributed to Ansarallah against Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye have recently increased defence consultations, including discussions over security cooperation and possible responses to threats facing member states under their tripartite defence framework.
Consequently, the latest arrivals in Riyadh could form part of those continuing consultations, although the specific purpose of each flight has not been independently established in the supplied information.

The development also comes roughly 24 hours after Israel’s defence minister reportedly criticised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over Türkiye’s response to attacks against Saudi Arabia.
According to the supplied account, the Israeli minister accused Erdogan of failing to take action to help defend the kingdom against the Houthis.
No Turkish response to those specific remarks was included in the information provided.
Meanwhile, the arrival of Turkish and Pakistani military aircraft signals intensified regional diplomatic and defence activity as Saudi Arabia confronts continued attacks from Yemen.
Further details are expected as officials clarify the participants and outcome of the Riyadh consultations.
