10月2日，也门国际公认政府的军方发言人周五表示，军机在过去三小时内对塔伊兹省的胡塞武装调动、人员、车辆及军事装备实施了20次打击。
Oct 2 - The military spokesperson for Yemen's internationally recognized government said on Friday that warplanes carried out 20 strikes over the past three hours targeting Houthi movements, personnel, vehicles and military equipment in Taiz province.
此次打击发生在沙特阿拉伯与获得伊朗支持的胡塞武装自2022年联合国斡旋停火、跨境袭击基本停止以来最为严重的升级之际。
The strikes come amid the most serious escalation between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-aligned Houthis since a UN-brokered truce largely halted cross-border attacks in 2022.
若能不受阻碍地占领也门西南部的塔伊兹，胡塞武装将完全控制该国北部，进一步加强其对红海沿岸的控制，并更容易进入也门南部及政府所在的南部港口城市亚丁。
Unchallenged occupation of southwestern Yemen's Taiz would give the Houthis full control over the country's north, a tighter grip on the Red Sea coast and easier access to the south and the southern port city of Aden, seat of the government.
重新爆发的冲突已造成数万人流离失所，并可能改变也门的控制格局，进而影响红海航线和曼德海峡。
The renewed conflict has already displaced tens of thousands of people and could reshape control in Yemen, with implications for Red Sea shipping lanes and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
沙特阿拉伯周四表示，胡塞武装袭击了麦地那一座为先知寺供电的配电站。由胡塞武装运营的萨巴通讯社援引的一名胡塞军方消息人士否认了这一说法，并称此次袭击旨在掩盖他所说的沙特阿拉伯未能就此前有关胡塞武装曾 targeting 麦加这座穆斯林圣城的指控提供证据。
Saudi Arabia said on Thursday the Houthis attacked a power distribution station in Medina that supplies electricity to the Prophet's Mosque. A Houthi military source, quoted by the Houthi-run Saba news agency, denied the claim and said it was intended to cover up what he described as Saudi Arabia's failure to substantiate an earlier accusation that the Houthis had targeted the Muslim holy city of Mecca.
沙特阿拉伯两周前表示，它在麦加以南拦截并摧毁了一架胡塞武装无人机，阻止其进入该市上空的限制空域。胡塞武装否认曾 targeting 麦加或任何其他伊斯兰圣地。
Saudi Arabia said two weeks ago it had intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of Mecca before it entered restricted airspace over the city. The Houthis denied targeting Mecca or any other Islamic holy site.
六名军事消息人士告诉路透社，塔伊兹省各地战斗广泛展开，当局已下令关闭所有通往该省的道路，并将其划为军事行动区。
Fighting was widespread across Taiz and authorities had ordered the closure of all roads leading into the province, designating them military operational areas, six military sources told Reuters.
消息人士称，封锁影响了约19条道路，其中包括从萨那南部通往塔伊兹的主要路线。
Around 19 roads were affected by the closures, including the main route running from southern Sanaa to Taiz, the sources said.
