也门军方周四早些时候表示,胡塞武装在数小时内第四次袭击了哈德拉毛省首府穆卡拉的阿勒赖扬国际机场。
Yemen’s army said early Thursday that the Houthi group targeted Al-Rayyan International Airport in the city of Mukalla, the capital of Hadramout province, for the fourth time within hours.
据也门国防部所属网站“九月网”报道,军方官方发言人马杰德·努扎伊利少将称,“胡塞恐怖民兵第四次袭击穆卡拉阿勒赖扬国际机场”。
The army’s official spokesman, Maj. Gen. Majed al-Nuzaili, said the “Houthi terrorist militia targeted Al-Rayyan International Airport in Mukalla for the fourth time,” according to September Net, a website affiliated with Yemen’s Defense Ministry.
该网站援引努扎伊利的一份声明报道称,“袭击机场旨在对也门人民实施封锁”。
In a statement, Nuzaili said that “targeting airports aims to impose a blockade on the Yemeni people,” the website reported.
阿勒赖扬是也门最重要的民用机场之一,为哈德拉毛省及其他省份数百万人提供服务。胡塞武装暂未就此次袭击发表评论。
Al-Rayyan is one of Yemen’s most important civilian airports, serving millions of people in Hadramout and other provinces. The Houthis had not immediately commented on the attack.
周三,该组织曾用三架无人机袭击哈德拉毛省东部的阿勒赖扬机场。
On Wednesday, the group attacked Al-Rayyan Airport in eastern Hadramout province with three drones.
据安纳多卢通讯社记者报道,这是自去年7月军事升级重启以来,该机场首次遭袭。
According to an Anadolu correspondent, this was the first attack on the airport since the resumption of military escalation last July.
官方萨巴电视台还报道称,胡塞武装用一枚弹道导弹袭击了也门南部的亚丁国际机场,但未提供更多细节。
The state-run Saba channel also reported that the Houthis had targeted Aden International Airport in southern Yemen with a ballistic missile, without providing further details.
当地居民告诉安纳多卢通讯社,他们在机场附近听到了巨大的爆炸声。
Local residents told Anadolu they heard a loud explosion near the airport.
事态发展之际,国际公认政府正在也门西南部对胡塞武装发动军事攻势。
The developments come amid the internationally recognized government’s ongoing military offensive against the Houthis in southwestern Yemen.
2014年9月,胡塞武装夺取首都萨那及数个省份后,也门陷入冲突,促使沙特领导的联盟于2015年3月介入,支持国际公认政府。
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa and several other provinces in September 2014, prompting a Saudi-led coalition to intervene in March 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
