据国营萨巴报称,也门武装部队在与伊朗支持的胡塞武装交战后,于周一夺取了红海城市莫查的控制权,这使国际公认的政府更接近接管至关重要的巴布曼德海峡。
By Sherif Tarek Yemen’s armed forces wrested control of the Red Sea city of Mocha on Monday after battles with the Iran-backed Houthis, according to state-run Saba, which puts the internationally recognized government closer to taking over the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
在沙特领导的联盟支持下,也门军队在宣布发动全面军事行动以夺回民兵控制的所有领土的第二天,从胡塞武装手中夺回了这座港口城市。
The Yemeni forces, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, have snatched back the port city from the Houthi group one day after announcing a full-scale military campaign to recapture all territory held by the militia.
胡塞武装自9月初以来一直控制着莫查,最近几个月他们对沙特阿拉伯发动了军事行动,结束了2022年的停火协议。该市位于该激进组织的另一个据点荷台达以南约180公里(112英里)处。
The Houthis had controlled Mocha since early September as they embarked on a military campaign against Saudi Arabia in recent months, ending a 2022 ceasefire. The city is located about 180 kilometers (112 miles) south of Hodeida, another stronghold of the militant group.
占领莫查帮助胡塞武装加强了对曼德布的控制,曼德布是红海和亚丁湾之间的狭窄咽喉,沙特阿拉伯一直利用它出口石油并绕过霍尔木兹海峡,霍尔木兹海峡已成为美伊战争的战场。
Seizing Mocha helped the Houthis tighten control on Bab el-Mandeb, a narrow chokepoint between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden that Saudi Arabia had been using to export oil and bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has become a battlefield in the US-Iran war.
沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦周一在利雅得举行的国防联盟紧急会议上同意立即“履行集体防御承诺”。根据一份联合声明,这三个国家于8月签署了一项国防协议,将确保提供“军事力量和能力,并确保其在王国的快速部署”。
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan on Monday agreed to the immediate “implementation of the collective defense commitments” during an emergency meeting of their defense alliance in Riyadh. The three countries, which signed a defense pact in August, will ensure the provision of “military forces and capabilities and ensure their rapid deployment in the Kingdom,” according to a joint statement.
沙特国防部长哈立德·本·萨勒曼在X上发帖称,会议重申“团结一致应对针对沙特王国和圣地的令人发指的袭击”。沙特领导的联盟十月初表示,胡塞武装最近袭击了伊斯兰教最神圣的城市之一沙特阿拉伯麦地那。
The meeting reaffirmed “solidarity in confronting the heinous attacks against the Kingdom and the holy sites,” Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman said in a posting on X. The Houthis recently attacked Saudi Arabia’s Madinah, one of Islam’s holiest cities, the Saudi-led coalition said in early October.
联军表示,在持续的行动中将为也门地面部队提供空中支持,周一早些时候有100架战斗机参与了军事行动。联军表示,其空军还保护巴布·曼德布。
The coalition said it’s providing air support for Yemeni ground forces during the ongoing operation, with 100 fighter jets participating in the military campaign early Monday. Its air forces also protect Bab el-Mandeb, the coalition said.
近几个月来,胡塞武装针对沙特阿拉伯的升级导致能源基础设施和油轮受损。该组织表示,由于其城市和港口受到沙特政府的“围困”,该组织加强了袭击。
The Houthi escalation against Saudi Arabia in recent months resulted in damage to energy infrastructure and tankers. The group said it stepped up attacks as its cities and ports are under “siege” from the Saudi government.
据也门军方发言人称,也门政府军周一也开始对萨那发动进攻。过去几天,也门军队多次袭击胡塞武装自2014年以来一直控制的首都。
Yemen’s government forces also started an offensive on Sanaa Monday, according to its military spokesperson. The Yemeni forces have repeatedly struck the capital, which the Houthis have controlled since 2014, over the past days.
沙特阿拉伯外交部表示,沙特阿拉伯“重申对拉沙德·阿里米领导的总统领导委员会的全力政治和军事支持”,“以结束政变并从胡塞民兵手中夺回国家及其机构”。
Saudi Arabia “reiterates its full political and military support for the Presidential Leadership Council,” headed by Rashad Al-Alimi, “to end the coup and retake the state and its institutions from the Houthi militia,” the kingdom’s Foreign Ministry said.
