欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩周日警告称，胡塞武装对利雅得机场的最新袭击标志着“危险升级”，她称这是该设施迄今为止遭受的最致命的此类袭击。
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday warned that the latest Houthi attack on Riyadh's airport marked a "dangerous escalation," describing it as the deadliest such attack on the facility so far.
“到目前为止，胡塞武装对利雅得机场的袭击是最致命的，这标志着一次危险的升级，”冯德莱恩在美国社交媒体平台上表示，“我们的思念与受害者及其家人同在。”她表示，她对沙特阿拉伯及其人民表示团结。冯德莱恩警告称，这些袭击正在加剧该地区的不稳定性。
"The deadliest Houthi attack so far on Riyadh's airport marks a dangerous escalation," von der Leyen said on US social media company "Our thoughts are with the victims and their families," she said, expressing solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its people. Von der Leyen warned that the attacks were contributing to growing instability across the region.
“伊朗代理人的这些袭击正在将该地区推入暴力的恶性循环，”她说。她还强调了对国际交通和能源基础设施的更广泛影响。
"These attacks by Iran's proxies are pushing the region into a spiral of violence," she said. She also highlighted the broader consequences for international transportation and energy infrastructure.
“他们正在通过向全球发送冲击波， destabilize 关键的全球交通和能源节点，”她补充道。
"They are destabilizing crucial global transport and energy nodes with shockwave sent through the world," she added.
她呼吁立即结束针对平民的暴力行为，称：“这些针对平民的谋杀袭击必须立即停止。”根据沙特民航局的数据，此次机场袭击中，有四名沙特人、两名孟加拉国国民，以及分别来自美国、埃及、约旦、叙利亚、巴勒斯坦和苏丹的一名遇难者。受伤者正在医院接受治疗，其中一些人情况危急。
Calling for an immediate end to violence targeting civilians, von der Leyen said: "These murderous attacks at civilians must stop at once." In the airport attack, four Saudis, two Bangladeshi nationals, and one each from the US, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan were killed, according to the Saudi civil aviation authority. The injured are being treated at hospitals, with some in critical condition.
民航局此前表示，机场在袭击后暂停运营，官员正在评估损失并核实机场设施的安全性。
The aviation authority said earlier that airport operations were temporarily suspended after the attack, while officials assessed the damage and verified the safety of the airport facilities.
此次暂停导致航班中断，乘客被建议在前往机场前咨询航空公司。科威特航空也因机场关闭取消了周六飞往利雅得的航班及返程航班。
The suspension has disrupted flights, with passengers advised to check with airlines before heading to the airport. Kuwait Airways also canceled Saturday service to Riyadh and return flights, citing the airport’s closure.
此次袭击发生在胡塞武装最近几天对沙特机场和设施发射导弹和无人机袭击，导致地区紧张局势升级的背景下。
The attack comes amid heightened tensions following Houthi missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports and facilities in recent days.
