周四,在也门的沙特领导的多国联军指责胡塞武装对本周早些时候沙特麦地那市的一处配电站发动了无人机袭击。
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen on Thursday blamed the Houthis for a drone attack earlier this week on an electricity distribution station in the Saudi city of Medina.
联军发言人图尔基·马拉基少将表示,袭击于当地时间周二上午5点11分针对泰巴(Taibah)配电站。
Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said the attack targeted the Taibah electricity distribution station at 5.11 am local time on Tuesday.
马拉基说,经过对无人机残骸的作战审查和检查,证实胡塞武装参与策划并实施了他所说的“懦弱的恐怖主义行径”。他补充说,袭击导致一台变压器停运,但并未影响电网。马拉基表示,该设施为麦地那的先知清真寺提供电力。
An operational review and examination of debris from the drone established Houthi involvement in planning and carrying out what he described as a "cowardly terrorist act," Al-Maliki said. The attack knocked one transformer out of service but did not affect the electricity grid, he added. Al-Maliki said the facility provides electricity to the Prophet's Mosque in Medina.
他指责胡塞武装蓄意攻击平民基础设施,并企图通过攻击麦加和麦地那等圣城来挑衅穆斯林。
He accused the Houthis of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and attempting to provoke Muslims by targeting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
马拉基表示,联军将继续采取措施遏制胡塞武装的袭击,并保护两座圣寺以及麦加和麦地那的游客。胡塞武装未立即对联军的声明发表评论。
Al-Maliki said the coalition would continue taking measures to deter Houthi attacks and protect the two holy mosques and visitors to Mecca and Medina. The Houthis did not immediately comment on the coalition's statement.
