- Senior Houthi member Mohammed al-Bukhaiti warned on Iraqi television, "By God, if Turkey and Pakistan become involved, we will strike them with an iron fist."
- Saudi Arabia is gearing up for a ground offensive to reverse Houthi territorial gains, though Bernard Haykel, a professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, doubts Pakistan will engage beyond the border.
