Pakistan Denies US Report on Air Force Use Against Houthis as False

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani government has categorically rejected a report published by a US newspaper alleging the involvement of the Pakistan Air Force in operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Ministry of Information labeled the claims as false and fabricated, emphasizing that they lack any factual basis.

In an official statement, the Ministry expressed its discontent with the misinformation, asserting that such reports could undermine Pakistan’s diplomatic relations and regional stability. The spokesperson reiterated that Pakistan maintains a neutral stance regarding the conflict in Yemen and does not engage in military operations outside its borders.

This denial comes amid heightened scrutiny of Pakistan’s foreign policy and military engagements. Analysts suggest that the spread of misinformation could have significant implications for Pakistan’s international relations, particularly with Middle Eastern nations and the United States, which has been closely monitoring the situation in Yemen.

Looking ahead, the Ministry of Information plans to address these false narratives through diplomatic channels and may seek clarification from the US government regarding the origins of the report. Furthermore, officials are expected to engage with media outlets to ensure accurate representation of Pakistan’s foreign policy.
