四名军方消息人士周一向路透社表示，与伊朗结盟的胡塞武装已推进至距离亚丁80公里（50英里）以内。亚丁是该国获国际承认的政府的主要据点和临时首都。
Iran-aligned Houthis have advanced to within 80 km (50 miles) of Aden, the main stronghold and temporary capital of the country's internationally recognised government, four military sources told Reuters on Monday.
这次推进使得胡塞武装比2015年战争初期以来的任何时候都更接近亚丁，当时他们曾短暂进入该市，随后被驱逐出境。
The advance brings the Houthis closer to Aden than at any point since the early months of the war in 2015, when they briefly entered the city before being driven out.
最新攻势在更广泛的美以对伊战争中开辟了一个动荡的新战线，将胡塞武装和沙特阿拉伯更深地卷入地区冲突。、胡塞武装加大了对支持也门政府的沙特阿拉伯的袭击力度，而沙特领导的联军则通过加紧空袭也门境内的胡塞武装阵地做出回应。
The latest offensive has opened a volatile new front in the wider US-Israeli war on Iran, drawing both the Houthis and Saudi Arabia deeper into the regional conflict. The Houthis have escalated their attacks on Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen's government, while the Saudi-led coalition has responded by stepping up strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen.
暴力事件打破了2022年由联合国斡旋达成的休战协议。该协议在很大程度上遏制了这场始于2014年的战争中的重大袭击，当时胡塞武装将政府驱逐出萨那。
The violence has shattered a 2022 UN-brokered truce that had largely halted major attacks in a war that began in 2014, when the Houthis drove the government from Sanaa.
胡塞武装的推进威胁到连接亚丁与被围困城市塔伊兹的主公路沿线的战略阵地，该公路是也门西南部的生命线。
The Houthi push threatens strategic positions along the main road linking Aden with the besieged city of Taiz, a vital artery for southwestern Yemen.
在此之前，胡塞武装开展了一场始于9月份的更大规模攻势。当时他们席卷了也门红海海岸，并夺取了曼德海峡沿线的领土。曼德海峡是世界上最重要的航运通道之一，也是沙特对亚洲石油出口的关键路线。
It follows a broader offensive that began in September, when the Houthis swept down Yemen's Red Sea coast and seized territory along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world's most important shipping lanes and a key route for Saudi oil exports to Asia.
军方消息人士称，这次推进让胡塞武装有机会在俯瞰曼德海峡的山脉沿线对政府军实施侧翼包抄。就在几周前，政府军刚将胡塞武装战斗人员驱逐出该地区。
The advance gives the Houthis a chance to outflank government forces along the mountain range overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the military sources said. Government troops had expelled Houthi fighters from the area only weeks ago.
最近几周，胡塞武装对亚丁的袭击也有所加剧。亚丁自2015年以来一直是政府的临时首都。该组织在警告人们疏散后于周三袭击了亚丁机场，总统府也在10月遭到袭击。
Houthi attacks on Aden, the government's temporary capital since 2015, have also intensified in recent weeks. The group struck Aden airport on Wednesday after warning people to evacuate, while the presidential palace was also hit in October.
周一，胡塞武装与政府军在图尔巴哈（Tur al-Bahah）区入口处的一处军事营地爆发战斗，这里是通往亚丁的主要通道之一。该营地距离拉赫杰省会约50公里，距离亚丁80公里。
Fighting between the Houthis and government forces was underway on Monday at a military camp at the entrance to Tur al-Bahah district, one of the main approaches to Aden. The camp is about 50 km from the provincial capital of Lahj and 80 km from Aden.
消息人士称，胡塞武装三天前对迈卡蒂拉（Al-Maqatirah）的政府阵地发动了进攻，此后已占领整个区。这个山区俯瞰着连接塔伊兹与亚门的主公路。他们表示，胡塞武装迫使政府军向图尔巴哈方向撤退。也门新闻部长没有立即回应置评请求。
The Houthis launched their assault on government positions in Al-Maqatirah three days ago and have since taken the whole district, the sources said. The mountainous area overlooks the road linking Taiz to Aden. The Houthis forced government troops to retreat toward Tur al-Bahah, they said. Yemen's information minister did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
胡塞武装官员哈米德·里兹克（Hamid Rizq）发布了一段视频，路透社无法立即核实其真实性。视频显示据称该组织的战斗人员进入了迈卡蒂拉区的鲁布市集（Souq al-Rabouh）。
Houthi official Hamid Rizq posted a video, which Reuters could not immediately verify, of what he said were the group's fighters entering Souq al-Rabouh in Maqatirah district.
在战争期间，这条路线一直是政府控制区与塔伊兹之间仅存的最后纽带。
That route has been the last remaining link between government-held territory and Taiz during the war.
也门第三大城市塔伊兹自10月初以来一直被包围，当时胡塞武装切断了通往亚丁南部的主公路。围困已导致10万多人流离失所，并造成了食品、燃料和药品的短缺。
Taiz, Yemen's third-largest city, has been encircled since early October, when the Houthis cut its main road south to Aden. The siege has displaced more than 100,000 people and caused shortages of food, fuel and medicine.
