Things are getting very tense in the Middle East. Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, have launched a series of major attacks on Saudi Arabian cities.
These attacks are a big step up in the fighting. Reports say that many people have been wounded in the strikes. This has turned the long-running war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia into a much more dangerous situation.
In response to the growing threat, Pakistan has promised to help. They say they will honor a security agreement to stand by Saudi Arabia if the country is attacked. This is a big deal because it shows that other countries are worried about how far this fighting might spread.
While the Saudi government did lower the threat alert in one southern city a day after the attacks, the overall situation remains very serious. Experts are worried that this could lead to a wider war that involves more countries in the region.
We will keep watching this story as it develops to see how Saudi Arabia and its allies react to these new attacks.
