利雅得消息——外交官和居民告诉法新社，10月8日，在爆炸声响彻沙特首都后，驻沙特首都的外交官正在就地避难，国际学校也采取了安全措施。
Diplomats, schools in Saudi take safety measures after blasts heard: Sources Diplomats in Riyadh sheltered in place, and international schools took safety measures after loud blasts were heard across the Saudi capital.
利雅得传出爆炸声的几小时前，与沙特接壤的也门胡塞武装声称对沙特发动了最新袭击。
The blasts followed Houthi claims of new attacks on Saudi Arabia, including airports, as the Yemen war and wider regional conflict intensified.
自该组织在也门对国际承认的、沙特支持的政府发动大规模攻势以来，伊朗支持的这个武装组织已对沙特发动了一系列袭击。
The fighting has displaced more than 200,000 people since July, and civilians in Yemen and Saudi Arabia face deaths, injuries and fear.
尽管沙特和也门政府军发动了旨在夺回领土（包括一条对全球能源流动至关重要的水道周边地区）的反攻，但一直难以遏制胡塞武装的推进。
AI generated RIYADH – Diplomats stationed in the Saudi capital were sheltering in place and international schools took safety measures on Oct 8, diplomats and residents told AFP, after explosions echoed across the city.
外交官告诉法新社，在居住着大量非沙特人的利雅得，外交官被指示在各自的大使馆内就地避难。
The explosions heard in Riyadh came hours after the Houthis in Yemen, which borders Saudi Arabia, claimed their latest attack on the kingdom.
与此同时，多名居民表示，国际学校正在采取预防措施，至少有一所学校将儿童送往地下室以确保安全。
The Iran-backed fighters have launched a wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia since they began a major offensive in Yemen against the internationally recognised, Saudi-backed government there.
此前，该市多次传出爆炸声，这是自2月底美国和以色列对伊朗发动打击引发中东战争以来，该市发生的最强烈的骚动之一。
Saudi Arabia and Yemeni government forces have struggled to contain the Houthis’ advance, despite a counter-offensive aimed at recapturing territory including the area around a waterway that is crucial to global energy flows.
在利雅得商业中心——阿卜杜拉国王金融区工作的两名人士告诉法新社，一些公司正在疏散该区域的员工。
In Riyadh, home to a large number of non-Saudis, diplomats were instructed to shelter in place in their respective embassies, diplomats told AFP.
20万民众流离失所。虽然也门战争的爆发时间早于伊朗战争，但近年来战事几近陷入僵局。直到9月份，胡塞武装对也门政府军发起了闪电式进攻。
Several residents, meanwhile, said that international schools were taking precautions, with at least one facility sending children into a basement for safety. The measures came after repeated blasts were heard in the city, one of the loudest disturbances there since the start of the Middle East war that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
他们占领了大片领土，包括曼德海峡周边地区——这一水道对全球航运至关重要，更是沙特石油出口的关键通道。
Two people working in Riyadh’s business hub – the King Abdullah Financial District – told AFP that some companies were evacuating staff from the area.
近几周来，也门战事已成为整个地区冲突中最活跃的战场。数月来，暴力冲突的重心在饱受战乱困扰的中东各地反复转移。
200,000 people displaced While the Yemen war predates the Iran war, it had come to a near-standstill in recent years, until September, when the Houthis launched a lightning offensive against government forces.
作为世界上最贫穷的国家之一，也门的普通民众正承受着战争带来的苦难。据联合国数据显示，自7月以来已有超过20万民众被迫流离失所。
They seized large swathes of territory including the area around the Bab al-Mandab strait, a key waterway for global shipping and, crucially, Saudi oil exports. The fighting in Yemen has in recent weeks become the most active front of the wider regional conflict, which for months has seen violence repeatedly shift focus across the beleaguered Middle East.
宣布发起反攻后，也门政府声称已将胡塞武装赶出红海沿岸的战略要地和港口城市摩卡。
In Yemen, one of the world’s poorest countries, it is ordinary civilians paying the price, with more than 200,000 people displaced since July, according to UN data.
但胡塞武装坚称自己仍控制着原有领土。法新社联系到的双方军事消息人士也均未透露战场上有任何重大变化。
After declaring a counter-offensive against the Houthis, Yemen’s government claimed to have pushed the fighters out of strategic areas on the Red Sea and the port city of Mocha.
由于局势瞬息万变且记者难以进入战区，交战各方的说法均无法得到独立核实。
But the Houthis insist they are holding their territory, and military sources from both sides contacted by AFP have not reported any major changes on the ground.
在沙特阿拉伯，最新一轮袭击发生在胡塞武装宣称袭击了两座国际机场的次日。该武装同时再次警告各航空公司避开沙特领空。
Claims by the warring parties have been impossible to independently verify, with the situation moving fast and access for journalists difficult. In Saudi Arabia, the latest blasts came a day after the Houthis claimed attacks on two international airports, while repeating a warning to airlines to avoid Saudi airspace.
沙特民航局称：“周二和周三……阿巴哈国际机场与哈立德国王国际机场的设施遭到了袭击。”
“On Tuesday and Wednesday ... Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport were subjected to attacks targeting their facilities,” Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority said.
该机构还称，一名埃及人和一名阿尔及利亚人在阿巴哈机场丧生，另有一名苏丹人在利雅得机场遇难。此次袭击共造成36人受伤。
An Egyptian and an Algerian national were killed at Abha airport, while a Sudanese national was killed at Riyadh airport, the agency said. The attacks wounded 36 people, it added.
随后，由沙特主导的打击胡塞武装的联军发表声明，指责胡塞武装发动了这些袭击，并誓言将予以回击。
In a subsequent statement, the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis blamed them for the strikes and vowed a response.
“胡塞武装恐怖分子对沙特境内平民及民用设施发动的残忍袭击，最近甚至将目标对准了两座机场，这些行为必将受到严惩，”声明这样写道。10月7日，也门爆发冲突，双方军事消息源向法新社透露，至少有62名战斗人员丧生，其中37人为胡塞武装成员。
“The brutal attacks by the Terrorist Houthi Militia on civilian and civilian objects in the Kingdom, most recently targeting (the two airports) will not go unpunished,” it wrote on‘Terrified’ On Oct 7 in Yemen, clashes left at least 62 combatants dead, including 37 Houthis, military sources from both camps told AFP.
萨巴通讯社还报道称，一枚胡塞武装发射的导弹在政府军控制的塔伊兹市炸伤五名平民。
Saba also reported that a Houthi missile wounded five civilians in Taiz, a city held by government forces.
当地居民法特赫·艾萨伊对法新社说：“我们走上街头查看伤者情况，看到许多受伤的年轻平民。”
“We went out into the street to check on the wounded and saw young civilians who had been hit,” resident Al-Fateh al-Eisaei told AFP.
“那枚导弹落在街道中央，正好是人群密集的区域。”这场战争引发的人道主义危机导致也门绝大多数民众都依赖援助为生。
“The Houthi shell landed in the middle of the street, right in an area crowded with civilians.”The humanitarian crisis caused by the war has left most of the nation’s population dependent on aid.
33岁的慈善工作者穆罕默德从摩卡逃到了亚丁市，他表示：“那里的民众都十分惧怕胡塞武装。”
Mohammed, a 33-year-old charity worker who fled from Mocha to the city of Aden, said that “people there are terrified” of the Houthis.
