10月6日 - 也门政府军发布的视频显示,他们在星期一重新夺回伊朗支持的胡塞武装占据的重要的曼德布海峡周边地区时,将装甲车驾驶过 opposing fighters。
Oct 6 - Video posted by government forces in Yemen showed them driving armoured cars over opposing fighters as they recaptured areas around the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait from Iran-backed Houthis on Monday in a deadly new phase of the fragmented country's war.
这些视频给出了一场激烈的战斗的残酷结尾的片段,即控制曼德布海峡附近领土的战斗。胡塞武装在上个月占领了该地区。胡塞武装的推进引发了石油市场的震动,并推动了全球汽油和柴油价格上涨。
The videos gave a glimpse into the brutal closing stages of a pitched battle for control of territory near the strait that the Houthis had captured last month. The Houthi advance sent shockwaves through the oil market and pushed up petrol and diesel prices worldwide.
也门军方消息人士表示,10月7日(星期二)曼德布海峡附近的战斗仍在继续,沙特支持的政府军正努力巩固星期一的反攻,将胡塞武装围困在靠近海峡的一个军事营地,并推进到东面的山丘中。
Fighting continued near Bab el-Mandeb on Tuesday as Saudi-backed government forces battled to consolidate Monday's counter-attack, besieging Houthi fighters at a military camp near the strait and pushing into hills to the east, Yemeni military sources said.
这些视频由路透社核实,拍摄于装甲车内部,显示它们用车身撞击战斗人员。有些人拿着武器,有些人正在行走或跑步。然而,还有些人没有武器,一些人坐在沙滩上、躺着或蹲着,没有任何躲避即将到来的车辆的举动。
The videos, verified by Reuters and filmed from inside the armoured vehicles, showed them striking fighters with their vehicle. Some were armed and some were walking or running. However, others were unarmed and some were sitting, lying or crouching on the sandy shore and made no move to evade the oncoming vehicle as they were run over.
在某个时候,一辆车撞上了一个跑步且无武器的男子,另一个人蹲在地上。然后它调转方向开过去压过两个男人,两个人都举起了手并且没有武器。在视频中可以听到枪声,有时候车窗甚至被枪弹打破。
At one point, a vehicle hits a man, running and unarmed, and another crouching on the ground. It then loops back to drive over two men, both with their hands up and unarmed. Shooting can be heard during the video and at one point the vehicle's windscreen is cracked by a gunshot.
胡塞武装发布声明谴责这些视频为战争罪的证据,称它们显示了“沙特政权及其动员的极端派团体的真实本质”。
A Houthi statement decried the videos as proof of war crimes, saying they showed "the true nature of the Saudi regime and the forces it has mobilised from extremist factions".
沙特主导的联军在也门支持政府军方面,对这些视频或胡塞武装对战争罪的指控没有立即做出回应。
The Saudi-led coalition backing the government forces in Yemen did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the videos or the Houthi accusations of war crimes.
参与本周曼德布海峭战斗的主要也门政府军——“巨人团”发言人对路透社的采访请求没有立即做出评论。
A spokesperson for the Giants Brigade — the main Yemeni government force involved in the fighting at Bab el-Mandeb this week — did not immediately comment in response to a Reuters request.
也门政府军事联盟的重要组成部分国土盾牌部队没有直接对这些视频发表评论,但周二发布了一项指令,敦促部队善待囚犯并遵守宗教、道德和法律标准。
The Homeland Shield Forces, a significant formation in the Yemeni government's military coalition, did not comment directly on the videos but issued a directive on Tuesday urging troops to treat prisoners well and adhere to religious, ethical and legal standards.
人权组织此前曾指责胡塞武装犯有战争罪,包括狙击手和炮击平民目标、没收援助物资、虐待囚犯和使用儿童兵。该组织否认犯有战争罪。“转折点”路透社未能独立核实政府取得的进展程度,胡塞武装否认他们已经失去阵地,称政府声称取得进展是毫无根据的。
Rights groups have previously accused the Houthis of war crimes, including sniper and shelling attacks on civilian targets, seizures of aid, abuse of prisoners and use of child soldiers. The group has denied war crimes. 'TURNING POINT' Reuters has not been able to independently verify the extent of government gains and the Houthis denied they had lost ground, saying the government claims of advances were baseless.
与此同时,也门第三大城市塔伊兹周围的激烈战斗仍在继续,胡塞武装最近几天在山区取得的进展切断了通往亚丁的主要道路,政府军被包围。
Intense fighting meanwhile continued around Yemen's third-largest city of Taiz, where Houthi gains in a mountain district have in recent days cut off a main road to Aden, leaving government forces encircled.
也门内战使胡塞武装与国际公认的政府领导下、沙特阿拉伯及其盟友支持的、有时由敌对军事力量组成的不稳定联盟展开对抗。
Yemen's civil war pits the Houthis against an uneasy coalition of sometimes rival military forces under the internationally recognised government, backed by Saudi Arabia and its allies.
新的冲突为伊朗与美国的冲突增加了一条新战线,美国拒绝了沙特的军事帮助请求,以扭转胡塞武装上个月在曼德布附近红海海岸的进展,并结束该组织的导弹和无人机袭击他们的领土。
The renewed clashes have added a new front to the Iran-US conflict, with the US rebuffing Saudi requests for military help to reverse Houthi gains on the Red Sea coast near Bab el-Mandeb last month and end the group's missile and drone attacks on their territory.
国际危机组织(International Crisis Group)也门分析师艾哈迈德?纳吉(Ahmed Nagi)表示:“这次行动本身意义重大,因为它是胡塞武装和沙特领导的联军之间冲突轨迹的转折点。”“最大的考验将是当他们向山区移动,”他补充说。
"The operation itself is significant because it's a turning point in the trajectory of the conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition," said Ahmed Nagi, Yemen analyst at International Crisis Group. "The biggest test will be when they move towards the mountains," he added.
宗教和地区断层巨人旅是一个南部军事编队,最初由极端保守的逊尼派穆斯林宗教学院的学生组成。
RELIGIOUS AND REGIONAL FAULTLINES The Giants Brigade is a southern military formation originally formed by students at ultra-conservative Sunni Muslim religious colleges.
这种背景使他们与胡塞人的敌意具有宗教和地区优势。胡塞人起源于也门北部,属于什叶派伊斯兰教的扎伊迪派。
That background gives both a religious and regional edge to their enmity with the Houthis, who originate in north Yemen and belong to the Zaydi school of Shi'ite Islam.
巨人队今年也出现了分裂,在沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国支持的派系之间分裂,这说明了长期以来困扰也门政府打击胡塞武装的内部分歧。
The Giants have themselves fractured this year, splitting between factions backed by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, illustrating the internal divisions that have long beset the Yemeni government's efforts to fight the Houthis.
除了在伊朗中断霍尔木兹海峡航运后进一步挤压全球贸易航线外,也门的大火还向美国的盟友沙特阿拉伯注入了新的火焰。
As well as further squeezing global trade routes after Iran's disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the conflagration in Yemen has poured new fire onto Saudi Arabia, a US ally.
胡塞武装多次袭击沙特的基础设施,包括机场、炼油厂和管道。沙特首都利雅得的居民报告说,一夜之间听到了爆炸声,沙特南部的两个机场成为袭击目标。
The Houthis have repeatedly targeted Saudi infrastructure, including airports, oil refineries and pipelines. Residents of the Saudi capital Riyadh reported hearing booms overnight and two of the kingdom's southern airports were targeted.
沙特阿拉伯对最新一波战斗的干预包括周一对胡塞武装进行猛烈空袭,巨人旅沿着平坦的沿海地带向巴布曼德布推进。
Saudi Arabia's intervention in the latest wave of fighting included intense air strikes on Houthi forces on Monday as the Giants Brigade advanced along the flat coastal strip towards Bab el-Mandeb.
