海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会(海合会)周三呼吁国际社会对也门胡塞武装针对沙特的袭击作出“坚决和具有威慑力”的回应,并表示其成员国团结一致支持沙特王国,共同抵御对其安全和主权的威胁。
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) called Wednesday for a “firm and deterrent” international response to attacks by Yemen’s Houthi group on Saudi Arabia, saying its members stood united with the kingdom against threats to its security and sovereignty.
海合会秘书长贾西姆·布代维谴责了针对艾卜哈国际机场和利雅得哈立德国王国际机场的袭击,这些袭击导致平民死伤。
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi condemned attacks on Abha International Airport in Abha and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh that left civilians dead and injured.
沙特阿拉伯民航总局周三早些时候表示,周二和周三针对这两个机场的袭击造成3人死亡、36人受伤。
Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation said earlier Wednesday that three people were killed and 36 others injured in attacks on the two airports on Tuesday and Wednesday.
危及乘客、工及其他平民的安全构成了“危险的升级”,也是对国际法和国际准则的公然违反。
Albudaiwi said targeting civilian airports and endangering passengers, workers and other civilians represented a “dangerous escalation” and a flagrant violation of international laws and norms.
他表示,这些袭击需要国际社会采取“坚决和具有威慑力”的立场,以防止进一步威胁地区和国际安全的行动。
He said the attacks required a “firm and deterrent” international stance to prevent further actions threatening regional and international security.
海合会秘书长重申,成员国与沙特“同心协力”,支持利雅得为保护其领土、安全和主权而采取的措施。
The GCC secretary-general reaffirmed that member states stood “as one” with Saudi Arabia and backed measures taken by Riyadh to protect its territory, security and sovereignty.
周三早些时候,沙特领导的也门多国联军表示,他们拦截并摧毁了一枚胡塞武装在利雅得北部发射的弹道导弹。
Earlier Wednesday, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis north of Riyadh.
这些袭击发生之际,也门战事升级,胡塞武装对沙特的袭击增加,而沙特领导的联军也加大了对胡塞武装阵地的军事打击力度。
The attacks come amid intensified fighting in Yemen and Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, while the Saudi-led coalition has stepped up military operations against Houthi positions.
自2015年3月以来,沙特阿拉伯一直领导一个军事联盟,支持也门获得国际承认的政府对抗胡塞武装。
Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized government against the Houthis since March 2015.
