The warning comes a day after the Houthis claimed new strikes. They said they hit a pumping station on the East-West oil pipeline, an oil facility in Yanbu, and an Aramco building in Riyadh.
The Saudi-led coalition said it stopped two drones on Thursday. One was destroyed in the Riyadh region and the other in the Eastern Province.
Shah said Pakistan stands fully with the leadership and people of Saudi Arabia. He backed the kingdom’s right to defend its land and protect its people under the UN Charter and international law.
Pakistan also reaffirmed its support for Yemen’s sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity. Shah thanked the United Kingdom for leading the talks on the resolution.
He said Pakistan voted yes to show how much it values the committee’s work. Holding to account those who threaten Yemen’s peace is key to lasting stability, he added.
The envoy also said the Panel of Experts must work within its mandate. It should act with professionalism, fairness and consistency, he said, so its work stays credible.
Pakistan condemns in the strongest terms the continued Houthi terrorist attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We stand in full and unwavering solidarity with the leadership, government and brotherly people of Saudi Arabia. Our support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, security and stability is resolute. Consistent with the United Nations Charter and international law, we support its legitimate right to defend its territory and protect its citizens and residents. We demand an immediate and unconditional cessation of these reprehensible Houthi attacks.

Shah urged support for a UN-led political process owned and led by Yemenis. He said Pakistan is ready to back efforts that bring peace and ease the suffering of Yemen’s people.
Ties between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have grown stronger in recent years. They signed a bilateral defence agreement in September 2025.
In August 2026, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye signed the Makkah Joint Defence Agreement. Under it, an attack on one of the three is treated as an attack on all.
