利雅得:沙特阿拉伯表示,它正面临周一(10月12日)新一轮的来袭火力,利雅得机场将暂时保持关闭状态。此前周六,也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装宣称对出发航站楼发动致命导弹袭击。
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia said it was facing a new barrage of incoming fire on Monday (Oct 12) and that Riyadh airport would remain shut for now, days after Saturday's deadly missile strike on a departure terminal that was claimed by Yemen's Iran-allied Houthis.
沙特领导的联盟报告称有来袭无人机和导弹,该联盟正在也门支持政府军,但目前尚无关于这些目标是否被拦截的即时消息。
Incoming drones and missiles were reported by the Saudi-led coalition backing government forces in Yemen, though there was no immediate news of whether they were intercepted.
自上周起,胡塞武装一直在袭击沙特机场和石油设施,作为一场迅速升级的冲突的一部分,该冲突已从美国和伊朗之间的更广泛地区冲突中蔓延出来。
The Houthis have been attacking Saudi airports and oil facilities since last week as part of a rapidly escalating conflict that has spilt over from the wider regional conflagration between the United States and Iran.
这些袭击导致沙特部分领空关闭,利雅得机场运营暂停,即使该市正在举办一场重要的能源会议,首都上空的天空也基本被清空。
Those attacks have shut down parts of Saudi airspace, suspending operations at Riyadh airport, and largely emptying the skies over the capital even as the city hosts a major energy conference.
沙特阿拉伯如今陷入噩梦般的困境,因为它重新介入也门内战,试图将胡塞武装从关键的巴布曼德布海峡石油航线上赶走,阻止该组织在九月突然取得进展后继续扩大成果。
Saudi Arabia now faces a nightmare predicament, having re-entered Yemen's civil war to push the Houthis from the vital Bab el-Mandeb Strait oil route and stop the group making further gains after its sudden advances in September.
尽管利雅得支持的也门部队在巴布曼德布周边取得了一些进展,但在其他战线上仍处于劣势,也门军方消息人士表示,对胡塞武装施加的任何压力可能需要时间才能见效。
With the Yemeni forces Riyadh supports having made some gains against the Houthis around Bab el-Mandeb but still on the back foot on other fronts, Yemeni military sources said any pressure on the Houthis could take time to pay off.
沙特阿拉伯长期的地区对手伊朗表示愿意在其胡塞盟友和王国之间进行调解。
Saudi Arabia's long-time regional rival Iran offered to mediate between its Houthi allies and the kingdom.
“我们多次表达了准备好帮助促进各方对话的意愿,”外交部发言人埃斯迈尔·巴盖伊周一表示。
"We have repeatedly expressed our readiness to help facilitate dialogue between the parties," foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday.
与此同时,尽管沙特对该组织的空袭力度加大,包括也门电视台称周一对贾夫省的袭击,胡塞武装对沙特基础设施的自身袭击 barrage 丝毫没有减弱的迹象。
Meanwhile, despite intensified Saudi airstrikes against the group, including what Yemeni television said were hits on al-Jawf province on Monday, the Houthis show no sign of letting up their own barrage of attacks on Saudi infrastructure.
该组织多次威胁要袭击机场和领空,以及沙特阿拉伯的石油设施——这些设施为王国的经济提供动力,也支撑其雄心勃勃的发展计划。阿联酋呼吁联合海湾行动沙特阿拉伯能源部长阿卜杜勒阿齐兹·萨尔曼王子周一在会议上表示,该王国将继续专注于吸引投资,作为其更广泛经济发展目标的一部分。“我们的能源系统和工业能力的发展仍在继续。”他说。
The group has repeatedly threatened to target airports and airspace, as well as Saudi oil installations that provide the engine for the kingdom's economy and its ambitious development plans. UAE CALLS FOR JOINT GULF ACTION Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz Salman said at Monday's conference that the kingdom would stay focused on bringing in investment as part of its wider economic development goals. "The development of our energy system and industrial capability continues," he said.
沙特阿拉伯的邻国阿拉伯联合酋长国周一呼吁复兴海湾联合行动,以应对袭击事件,加强安全与防御合作。
Saudi Arabia's neighbour, the United Arab Emirates, on Monday called for a revival of joint Gulf action on security and defence in response to the attacks.
阿联酋总统顾问安瓦尔·加尔加什表示,针对沙特阿拉伯的袭击削弱了所有海湾国家的安全,并补充说,对集体海湾安全的忽视“助长了他人胆量”,导致他们越界侵犯地区国家。
UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash said the targeting of Saudi Arabia undermined the security of all Gulf states and added that the neglect of collective Gulf security had "emboldened others" to overreach against regional states.
沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋多年来一直是也门冲突中的伙伴,但他们在支持也门政府的也门军事联盟中站队不同,去年冬天关系破裂。
Saudi Arabia and the UAE had been partners in the Yemen conflict for years, but they backed different forces within the Yemeni military coalition supporting the government and fell out last winter.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周六表示,华盛顿正考虑加入沙特阿拉伯,对胡塞武装发动打击,但目前尚未看到任何美国行动的迹象。
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Washington was considering joining Saudi Arabia in strikes on the Houthis, but there has been no sign yet of any US action.
