利雅得，10月5日--军方和政府消息人士称，沙特支持的也门政府军周一占领了曼德海峡的关键阵地，他们正在努力扭转伊朗支持的胡塞武装上个月的进攻，并将他们赶出这条重要水道。
RIYADH, Oct 5 - Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces seized key positions on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Monday, military and government sources said, as they fought to reverse last month's advances by the Iran-backed Houthis and drive them from the vital waterway.
三名军事消息人士和一名政府消息人士告诉路透社，政府军已经占领了俯瞰巴布曼德布的杜巴布地区的大部分地区，并在沙特领导的联军的大力空中支持下全面控制该地区。胡塞联盟的媒体早些时候否认政府军在该地区取得进展。
The government forces have taken large parts of Dhubab district, which overlooks Bab el-Mandeb, and are asserting full control over the area with heavy air support from a Saudi-led coalition, three military sources and one government source told Reuters. Houthi-aligned media had earlier denied that government forces had made advances in the area.
美伊冲突爆发了一场休眠的内战，也门几条前线的战斗持续了数周，胡塞武装试图控制至关重要的曼德海峡，并向沙特城市和基础设施发射导弹和无人机。
Fighting has raged along several frontlines in Yemen for weeks after a dormant civil war erupted in a spillover from the US-Iran conflict, with the Houthis seeking to control the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait and firing missiles and drones at Saudi cities and infrastructure.
伊朗关闭霍尔木兹海峡已经限制了海湾能源出口，也门的战斗威胁到了另一条主要的石油出口路线，推高了全球价格，并在本已着火的地区带来了新的风险。

国际公认的也门政府周日宣布发动攻势夺回领土，总统拉沙德·阿里米发誓要战斗“直到国家从恐怖分子民兵的控制下解放出来”。
The internationally recognised Yemeni government announced on Sunday the launch of its offensive to recapture territory, with President Rashad al-Alimi swearing to fight "until the country is liberated from the grip of the terrorist militia".
沙特阿拉伯准备进攻夺回领土为也门政府军提供武器和训练的沙特阿拉伯正在用空中力量支持军事行动，并向盟友寻求后勤帮助，以击退胡塞武装，恢复红海的自由交通，并结束该组织对其领土的袭击。
SAUDI ARABIA BACKS OFFENSIVE TO RETAKE TERRITORY Saudi Arabia, which arms and trains Yemeni government forces, is backing the military campaign with air power and has sought logistical help from allies to push back the Houthis, restore free traffic in the Red Sea, and end the group's attacks on its territory.
虽然战争在也门的多个前线肆虐，但最激烈的战斗发生在西南部，无论是海峡附近的沿海地区还是塔伊兹市周围的山区，胡塞武装正在那里试图包围政府军。
While the war has raged on several frontlines in Yemen, the heaviest fighting has been in the southwest, both in the coastal area near the strait and in the hills around the city of Taiz, where the Houthis are trying to surround government forces.
胡塞武装经营的一家通讯社周一援引军方消息人士的话说，该组织已将政府军赶出塔伊兹省马瓦西特区，到达也门临时总统委员会主席阿利米的家。
A Houthi-run news agency on Monday cited a military source as saying that the group had driven government forces from the al-Mawasit district of Taiz province, reaching the home of Alimi, head of Yemen's interim presidential council.
该山区靠近从塔伊兹到亚丁的主要道路，这是政府军进入该市的最后一条路线，该市自内战初期以来一直处于前线。
The mountainous district sits close to the main road running from Taiz to Aden, the last route that government forces have had into the city, which has been on the frontlines since early in the civil war.
也门冲突始于胡塞武装2014年占领首都萨那后，促使沙特领导的联盟在次年进行干预，发动空袭，旨在恢复政府并驱逐这个伊朗支持的组织。
Yemen's conflict began after the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in the following year with an air campaign aimed at restoring the government and ousting the Iran-backed group.
战斗迅速陷入血腥僵局，大多数前线陷入停滞，导致这个已经是最贫穷的阿拉伯国家陷入重大人道主义危机，直到2022年达成停火协议，并一直持续到今年夏天。
The fighting quickly ground to a bloody stalemate, with most frontlines stalled, leading to a major humanitarian crisis in what was already the poorest Arab state, until a ceasefire was agreed in 2022 that held until this summer.
