近期,随着也门胡塞武装与沙特之间的敌对行动不断升级,沙特屡遭导弹与无人机袭击。自2015年起,沙特便牵头组建军事联盟,协助也门获得国际承认的政府对抗胡塞武装;后者自2014年起便控制了也门首都萨那及多个省份。此次冲突升级始于2022年停火协议失效后的7月份。
Saudi Arabia has faced a series of missile and drone attacks amid escalating hostilities with Yemen’s Houthi group. Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government since 2015 against the Houthis, who have controlled Sanaa and several other provinces since 2014. The current escalation started in July after a 2022 truce collapsed.
