Pakistan faces competing pressures from its Makkah Joint Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey amid Houthi escalation in Yemen. Recent Houthi missile and drone strikes on Saudi targets, combined with seizures of Red Sea coast positions and islands near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, have prompted Pakistani officials to condemn the attacks and affirm support for Saudi self-defense under international law. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif indicated the pact could activate for practical and diplomatic backing if threats spill into Saudi territory, yet the Foreign Office has clarified no discussions are underway for offensive operations against Houthi positions in Yemen. Islamabad has instead pursued diplomacy, including messages to Iran urging restraint on its Houthi allies and calls at the UN Security Council for de-escalation and renewed political talks. Historical precedent from 2015, when parliament rejected direct involvement, plus concerns over relations with Iran and resource strains, continue to shape a cautious stance focused on defensive support rather than cross-border military action.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Pakistan takes a qualifying military action against Yemen by the specified date, 11:59 PM Yemen Standard Time. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No.”
A qualifying military action refers to an air strike or a surface-to-surface missile strike, initiated by Pakistan, that directly impacts Yemen. An air strike includes bombs, air-to-surface missiles, and air-launched drones. A surface-to-surface missile strike includes one-way attack drones and surface-to-surface missiles such as cruise or ballistic missiles.
The following actions do not constitute a qualifying military action:
Munitions destroyed or intercepted before impact;
Surface-to-air missile strikes;
Small-arms fire;
Ground incursions;
Cyber operations;
Naval gunfire and artillery fire;
Howitzers, artillery pieces, mortars, and rocket artillery (e.g. MLRS systems);
Minor surface-to-surface strikes, including short range loitering munitions, FPV drones, and ATGM strikes;
Any threat, authorization, or announcement of force that has not been executed.
Any munition that is intercepted or destroyed before impact does not constitute a qualifying military action. Debris, fragments, or any wreckage from intercepted munitions that land on Yemen do not constitute a military action regardless of any damage incurred.
“Yemen” refers to the terrestrial territory of Yemen, including its internal waters. Yemen’s maritime territory and airspace are not encompassed. Where territorial borders are disputed, all territory claimed by and under the de facto control of Yemen as of market creation will qualify.
The occurrence, attribution, and timing of a qualifying military action will be primarily determined based on a consensus of information available from the resolution sources. Where multiple sources conflict regarding the occurrence, attribution, or timing of a relevant military action, this market will remain open until the earlier of: i) the confirmation of the occurrence, attribution, and timing of the action based on a consensus of information available from the resolution sources or ii) 3 full calendar days (Yemen Standard Time) from the date of the first credibly reported evidence of the action. If this period would extend past the end date, this market will remain open to allow for 3 full calendar days to pass. At the end of the third calendar day, if conflicting reports remain, the incident will be adjudicated based on the totality of information available from the resolution sources at that time. No single statement, denial, or presentation of evidence will govern where it is contradicted by the totality of information.
