LONDON — Former Balochistan Communications and Works Minister Hyrbyair Marri, now leading the Free Balochistan Movement from London, condemned a recent Pakistani airstrike on a Kabul rehabilitation hospital, which he said killed 400 civilians and injured more than 250.

RIYADH, March 7, 2026 — A meeting between Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir and Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman has underscored the deep and longstanding military relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, as regional tensions involving Iran continue to influence security cooperation across the Gulf.

Khalid bin Salman said on X that he met Munir to discuss what he described as Iranian attacks on Saudi territory and possible responses under the framework of a Joint Strategic Defense Agreement between the two countries.

“We discussed Iranian attacks on the Kingdom and the measures needed to halt them within the framework of our Joint Strategic Defense Agreement,” the Saudi defense minister wrote, adding that such actions undermine regional security and expressing hope that Iran would “exercise wisdom and avoid miscalculation.”

Pakistan army’s spokesman ISPR seconded what Khalid bin Salman said and issued a statement that said that the Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defense Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir visited KSA and met with HRH Prince Khalid Bin Salman, the Defence Minister of Kingdom. Both discussed the gravity of security situation accruing from Iranian drone and missile attacks on the Kingdom and joint measures needed to halt them within the framework of Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement.

It was emphasised that unprovoked aggression undermines efforts for regional security and stability and foreclose options for peaceful settlement of disputes. Both sides expressed hope and desire that brotherly country Iran would manifest prudence and sagacity to avoid any miscalculation and strengthen the hands of friendly countries seeking peaceful settlement of the crisis.

CENTCOM visit and counter-drone exercise

The meeting follows a series of high-level defense contacts involving Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United States.

On Sept. 16, Brad Cooper, the head of United States Central Command, visited Saudi Arabia to observe a large counter-drone military exercise and hold talks with Saudi defense officials.
