这是自最近几周沙特与胡塞武装的冲突重新爆发以来，针对沙特阿拉伯最致命的袭击事件，这些袭击有可能进一步加剧这场涉及多个国家的冲突，并对能源市场造成压力。周四，油价急剧上涨，全球基准原油布伦特原油的价格涨幅超过了5%。根据航空数据分析公司Cirium的数据，由于局势不稳定，沙特机场的航班运营受到严重影响——大约四分之一的出境航班被取消，数十个入境航班也被迫中止。
The attacks are the deadliest on Saudi Arabia since the war with the Houthis reignited in recent weeks and threaten to widen a conflict that has entangled multiple countries and strained energy markets.

汉莎航空集团宣布将暂停飞往利雅得的航班，直至10月16日；印度大使馆也证实，印度航空公司的利雅得航班同样被暂停。

胡塞武装的军事发言人亚赫亚·萨里（Yahya Saree）在声明中表示，胡塞武装袭击了利雅得的国际机场、纳杰兰的另一个机场，以及位于该国南部卡米斯穆沙伊特（Khamis Mushait）附近的沙特空军基地。他仅表示，导弹袭击确实击中了利雅得机场的目标，并扰乱了当地的航空交通，但未提供更多细节。对于胡塞武装的指控，沙特当局并未予以回应。
A Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said in statements Thursday that the militia had targeted Riyadh’s international airport, another airport in Najran and a Saudi air base near Khamis Mushait in the country’s south.

The New York Times has verified two videos circulating on social media that showed a thick plume of black smoke billowing over Riyadh’s airport, which has announced dozens of flight cancellations.
对利雅得的袭击增加了对沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼的压力，他实际上是王国的实际领导人，需要解决日益升级的冲突，因为这场战斗威胁到他将国家打造成商业和旅游中心的计划。利雅得将在未来几周举办多场国际活动，包括由穆罕默德王储主办的年度投资峰会，该峰会通常会吸引世界领导人、亿万富翁和全球顶级高管参加。
The targeting of Riyadh has raised pressure on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto leader, to resolve the escalating conflict as the fighting threatens his plans to turn the country into a business and tourism hub. Riyadh is set to host several international events in the coming weeks, including an annual investment summit hosted by Prince Mohammed that is typically attended by world leaders, billionaires and top global executives.

Pool photo by Lou Benoist Saudi Arabia announced a new bombing campaign in Yemen this week against the Houthis, who have vowed to fight back by hitting airports and energy infrastructure.

巴基斯坦和土耳其本周启动了一项防御协议，以向沙特阿拉伯提供军事支持，这可能使更多方卷入冲突。一名巴基斯坦高级军官在匿名条件下讨论作战事项时表示，巴基斯坦战斗机正被用于对胡塞武装的打击行动。
The fighting could entangle more parties, after Pakistan and Turkey this week activated a defense pact to provide military support to Saudi Arabia. A senior Pakistani military official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters, said on Wednesday that Pakistani fighter jets were being used in strikes against the Houthis.
目前尚不清楚外国军事干预是否会削弱胡塞武装的袭击，胡塞武装已经历经多年轰炸行动的考验，并且他们认为自己能够对沙特阿拉伯造成的伤害大于王国对其造成的伤害。
It was unclear if foreign military intervention would temper attacks by the Houthis, who have survived years of bombing campaigns and have calculated that they can inflict greater pain on Saudi Arabia than the kingdom can on them.
周四早上，一名在利雅得的时报记者听到了连续几声爆炸。两名要求匿名的居民说，该市民众被告知从一栋办公大楼疏散。近些天来，沙特当局要求居民不要分享与导弹和无人机袭击有关的信息，并警告他们要承担法律后果。
A Times reporter in Riyadh heard several blasts in quick succession on Thursday morning. Two residents, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said workers at an office tower in the city had been told to evacuate. In recent days, the Saudi authorities have told residents not to share information related to missile and drone attacks, warning them of legal consequences.
胡塞武装表示，他们对沙特阿拉伯的袭击是为了报复对也门的袭击。
The Houthis say that their attacks in Saudi Arabia are retaliation for attacks in Yemen.
也门冲突在多条战线上展开。国际公认的也门政府本周在沙特战机的支持下开始反攻，目的是从胡塞武装手中夺回红海沿岸具有重要战略意义的领土。胡塞武装上个月占领了部分海岸，从而加强了对曼德海峡的控制，该海峡是全球重要贸易通道。胡塞武装说，他们已在政府军据点、内陆城市塔伊兹取得进展。
The conflict in Yemen is being fought on multiple fronts. The internationally recognized government of Yemen, backed by Saudi warplanes, began a counteroffensive this week to retake strategically important territory along the Red Sea from the Houthis. The militia seized parts of the coast last month in a move that gave it greater control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical global trade route. The Houthis say they have made gains in the inland city of Taiz, a government stronghold.
一名在塔伊兹的也门政府军军官说，胡塞武装实际上已包围了该市，居民们的汽油和食物即将耗尽。这名军官要求匿名，因为他未获授权对媒体发言。
A Yemeni government army officer in Taiz said that Houthi forces had effectively encircled the city and that residents were running out of gas and food supplies. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

最新一轮战斗使沙特阿拉伯和胡塞武装再次陷入公开冲突。据联合国称，自9月战斗加剧以来，已有近20万也门人流离失所。
The latest round of fighting has plunged Saudi Arabia and the Houthis back into open conflict and nearly 200,000 Yemenis have been displaced since September, when the fighting intensified, according to the United Nations.
2015年，沙特阿拉伯领导了一场针对胡塞武装的灾难性行动，试图恢复被胡塞武装赶出首都萨那的也门政府。
In 2015, Saudi Arabia led a disastrous campaign against the Houthis in a bid to restore Yemen’s government, which had been driven out of the capital, Sanaa, by the militia.
这场战争导致数十万人死亡，并造成了世界上最严重的人道主义危机之一，直至2022年双方达成脆弱的停火协议。
The war led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises until the two sides agreed to a tenuous truce in 2022.
康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲周一在利雅得会见了穆罕默德王子，并公开反对沙特阿拉伯在也门的上一次军事行动。他表示，目前尚不清楚沙特阿拉伯在其重启的军事行动中的长期目标是什么。
Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, who met with Prince Mohammed on Monday in Riyadh and publicly opposed the kingdom’s last campaign in Yemen, said that it was unclear what the kingdom’s long-term objectives are in its renewed military campaign.
“他们想收复失去的领土，我认为悬而未决的问题是，他们是否在此基础上有明确的目标，”墨菲对记者说。“我认为历史告诉我们，无论是谁发动这场军事冲突，这都将是也门人民、该地区以及美国的灾难。”分析人士表示，最近几天对利雅得的袭击将使沙特政府更有可能加强其在也门的轰炸行动。
“They want to win back the territory that they’ve lost, and I think the open question is whether they have clear goals beyond that,” Mr. Murphy told reporters. “I think history tells us that this military conflict, whoever starts it, is a disaster for the people of Yemen, for the region, and for the United States.”Analysts said the attacks on Riyadh in recent days would make it more likely that the Saudi government would intensify its bombing campaign in Yemen.
“最新的袭击只是为他们针对胡塞武装的任何军事行动提供了更多的国际支持，”伦敦皇家国际事务研究所（Chatham House）也门问题专家法雷亚·穆斯利米说。
“The latest attack just gives them more international support for any military operation they would do against the Houthis,” said Farea al-Muslimi, a Yemen specialist at Chatham House, a London-based research group.
特朗普总统已经拒绝了沙特政府要求指挥美国空袭的请求。但根据一名现任和一名前美国官员的说法，他们以匿名条件讨论了作战事项，超过200名美国情报和军事分析师正在王国内部的指挥中心协助沙特政府，帮助分析和选择目标，以支持其也门盟友。他们还补充说，美国也在为执行防御性空中巡逻的沙特战机提供空中加油。
President Trump has rebuffed Saudi government requests to direct American airstrikes. But more than 200 U.S. intelligence and military analysts are assisting the Saudi government in command centers inside the kingdom, helping to analyze and select targets in support of its Yemeni allies, according to one current and one former U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters. The United States is also providing aerial refueling for Saudi warplanes conducting defensive air patrols, they added.
上个月，英国也承诺为沙特战机提供有限的空中加油，用于防御目的。目前尚不清楚这是否将扩展到新的军事行动。法国上个月表示，将派遣军队和其他军事资源，以保护沙特阿拉伯位于红海的能源基础设施。
Last month, Britain also promised to offer limited aerial refueling to Saudi warplanes for defensive purposes. It is unclear if that will extend to the new campaign. France said last month that it would send troops and other military assets to protect Saudi energy infrastructure on the Red Sea.
