Iran war live: Fighting grips Yemen as Qatar, Turkiye sign defence deal
Qatar and Turkiye have signed a mutual defence pact, agreeing to take unified action against external attacks as fighting in Yemen displaces 340,000 civilians.
The defence agreement, signed in Doha and Ankara, commits both nations to confronting any external armed attack targeting either party. The announcement comes as Yemen continues to experience intense fighting, with the International Organization for Migration reporting that 340,000 people have been forced to flee their homes due to the escalating conflict.
Regional tensions
The security pact between Qatar and Turkiye reflects growing concerns about regional stability as the humanitarian crisis in Yemen worsens. The displacement crisis represents one of the most severe consequences of the ongoing conflict in the Arabian Peninsula.
