Special forces from the Saudi Arabian and Pakistani armies began a two-week training exercise known as 'Al-Shihab-1' in Pakistan's Punjab province on 19 October.

An announcement from Pakistan's inter-services public relations office said the exercise aims at "affording an opportunity to explore new avenues of co-operation to fight terrorism and enhance skills".

Analysts and Western officials noted that the exercise comes as Saudi Arabia remains committed to an ongoing military campaign in Yemen. "The Pakistan Army has had years of combat experience against the Taliban [in a rugged region alongside the border with Afghanistan] and that's where the Saudis can learn from our experiences," a senior Pakistani government official told IHS Jane's
