也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装周五发动新一轮袭击，以无人机瞄准沙特阿拉伯伊斯兰圣城麦地那，并向也门南部城市亚丁的马阿希克总统府建筑群和机场发射弹道导弹，据沙特和也门官员透露。
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis launched a fresh wave of attacks on Friday, targeting Saudi Arabia's Islamic holy city of Medina with a drone and firing ballistic missiles at the Maashiq presidential palace complex and airport in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, according to Saudi and Yemeni officials.
领导打击胡塞武装的沙特主导联盟周五表示，已在麦地那地区拦截并摧毁一架由该组织发射的无人机，该地区拥有先知清真寺，是伊斯兰教最神圣的圣地之一。此前，联盟报告称在麦加地区拦截了另一架无人机，该地区每年吸引数百万穆斯林朝圣者。
The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis said on Friday that it had intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by the group over the Medina region, home to the Prophet's Mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites. Earlier, the coalition reported intercepting another drone in the Mecca region, which attracts millions of Muslim pilgrims every year.
与此同时，一名警察官员告诉法新社，该组织曾用两枚导弹袭击总统府。最新升级标志着胡塞武装与支持也门政府的沙特主导联盟之间的冲突范围扩大。
Meanwhile, the group had targeted the palace with two missiles, a police official told news agency AFP. The latest escalation marks a widening of the conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, which backs Yemen's government.A Yemeni government military spokesperson said the Houthis attacked Aden airport and the Maashiq presidential palace complex with ballistic missiles on Friday.
也门政府军方发言人表示，胡塞武装周五用弹道导弹袭击了亚丁机场和马阿希克总统府建筑群。声明未说明导弹是否击中预定目标，也未提供伤亡和损失细节。不过，两名目击者告诉法新社，他们看到救护车进入由数座建筑组成的总统府院内。居民和一名法新社记者也报告称，在袭击前不久听到城内传来两声巨响。
The statement did not specify whether the missiles struck their intended targets or provide details of casualties and damage. However, two eyewitnesses told AFP they saw ambulances entering the palace compound, which consists of several buildings. Residents and an AFP journalist also reported hearing two explosions in the city shortly before.
亚丁是一座南部港口城市，是也门国际公认政府的所在地，该政府于2014年被胡塞武装赶出首都萨那。自7月战斗再度升级以来，该市遭遇反复袭击。
Aden, a southern port city, serves as the base of Yemen's internationally recognised government, which was driven out of the capital, Sanaa, by the Houthis in 2014. The city has faced repeated attacks since fighting intensified again in July.
周五据报的导弹袭击，继胡塞武装周三对亚丁机场发动的另一次袭击之后。该组织在袭击前曾发出撤离警告。该机场是也门南部人道主义行动的关键入境点。无人机在圣城附近被拦截据报道的无人机拦截事件因涉及地点而引起特别关注。麦加拥有大清真寺和克尔白，麦地那则有先知清真寺。这两座城市对穆斯林具有极大的宗教意义，每年接待数百万朝圣者和游客。
Friday's reported missile strikes followed another Houthi attack on Aden airport on Wednesday. The group had issued an evacuation warning before the strike. The airport is a critical entry point for humanitarian operations in southern Yemen.DRONE INTERCEPTIONS NEAR HOLY CITIESThe reported drone interceptions have drawn particular attention because of the locations involved. Mecca is home to the Grand Mosque and the Kaaba, while Medina houses the Prophet's Mosque. Both cities hold immense religious significance for Muslims and receive millions of pilgrims and visitors.
沙特阿拉伯此前曾指控胡塞武装试图袭击这两座城市周边地区。9月，沙特领导的联盟称，在一架无人机进入麦加周边禁飞空域前，已在麦加以南将其拦截。联盟将该事件描述为胡塞武装第二次涉嫌试图袭击麦加。
Saudi Arabia has previously accused the Houthis of attempting to target areas around the two cities. In September, the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted a drone south of Mecca before it entered the restricted airspace around the holy city. The coalition described the incident as the second alleged Houthi attempt to target Mecca.
10月，指控再次浮现，当时联盟指称胡塞武装袭击了麦地那一座为先知清真寺供电的配电站。该组织否认了责任，称该指控属实。
The accusations resurfaced in October, when the coalition alleged that the Houthis had struck a power distribution station in Medina that supplied electricity to the Prophet's Mosque. The group denied responsibility, describing the allegation as false.
胡塞武装多次拒绝承认其袭击过麦加或麦地那，声称其军事行动针对的是沙特军事设施和能源基础设施。
The Houthis have repeatedly rejected claims that they have targeted Mecca or Medina, stating that their military operations are directed at Saudi military installations and energy infrastructure.
周五，胡塞武装军事发言人叶海亚·萨雷亚在X平台发帖，再次驳斥联盟关于针对沙特阿拉伯的无人机袭击的说法属实。他表示该组织未对沙特领土实施任何行动，并坚称其行动针对沙特石油设施和军事基地。也门冲突如何蔓延最新升级是更广泛对抗的一部分，该对抗在近几个月来加剧。胡塞武装控制萨那和也门西北部大部分地区，而国际公认的政府则得到沙特阿拉伯及其地区盟友的支持。
On Friday, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree again dismissed the coalition's account of a drone attack towards Saudi Arabia as false in a post on X. He said the group had not carried out any operation against Saudi territory and maintained that its operations targeted Saudi oil facilities and military bases.HOW THE YEMEN CONFLICT SPREADThe latest escalation is part of a broader confrontation that has intensified in recent months. The Houthis control Sanaa and much of northwestern Yemen, while the internationally recognised government is backed by Saudi Arabia and its regional allies.
内战始于2014年，当时胡塞武装攻占萨那并迫使政府离开首都。
The civil war began in 2014 after the Houthis seized Sanaa and forced the government from the capital.
沙特阿拉伯于2015年3月介入，领导一个国家联盟支持政府并对抗亲伊朗的运动。联斡旋的停火在2022年基本暂停了主要战斗和跨境袭击一段时间。然而，重燃的敌对行动打破了这种相对平静，胡塞武装加强了对沙特领土和也门政府控制区的袭击。这场冲突在美国和以色列对伊朗的战争背景下也获得了更广泛的地区维度。
Saudi Arabia intervened in March 2015, leading a coalition of countries to support the government and fight the Iran-aligned movement.A United Nations-brokered truce in 2022 largely halted major fighting and cross-border attacks for a period. However, renewed hostilities have shattered that relative calm, with the Houthis stepping up attacks on Saudi territory and government-held areas of Yemen. The conflict has also acquired a wider regional dimension amid the US-Israeli war on Iran.
上个月，胡塞武装部队向曼德海峡推进，曼德海峡是世界上最具战略重要性的航运路线之一，连接红海与亚丁湾。此后，政府军推进以夺回也门红海沿岸领土，此举可能削弱胡塞武装对这一战略水道的控制。沙特领导的联盟也加强了对胡塞武装阵地的打击，以回应该组织的袭击。- 结束 - 来自通讯社的报道
Last month, Houthi forces advanced towards the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most strategically important shipping routes, connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden. Government forces have since pushed to retake territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast, in a move that could weaken the Houthis' hold over the strategic waterway. The Saudi-led coalition has also stepped up strikes against Houthi positions in response to the group's attacks.- EndsWith inputs from agencies
