利雅得,11月6日——两名叙利亚军方消息人士和一名美国高级官员表示,随着沙特阿拉伯遭到也门胡塞武装的袭击,叙利亚正在向利雅得提供军事建议和训练方面的协助,并已向沙特派遣了数量有限的军事人员。
RIYADH, Nov 6 - Syria is aiding Riyadh with military advice and training as Saudi Arabia comes under attack by Yemen's Houthis, and has sent a limited number of military personnel to the kingdom, two Syrian military sources and a senior US official said.
自7月中东更大范围的冲突令也门战争重新燃起以来,沙特阿拉伯与伊朗结盟的胡塞武装一直陷入日益加剧的敌对状态,这促使利雅得向一系列盟友寻求防御和进攻两方面的支持。
Saudi Arabia has been locked in worsening hostilities with the Iran-allied Houthis since July, when the Yemen war was reignited by the wider conflict in the Middle East, leading Riyadh to seek both defensive and offensive support from a range of allies.
这名美国高级官员说,来自叙利亚的顾问和训练团队正前往沙特阿拉伯,协助在沙特境内训练沙特和也门部队,以提高其作战效能。叙利亚的战斗人员经过多年战争已变得久经沙场。
The senior US official said advisers and training teams from Syria - where fighters became battle-hardened in years of war - were travelling to Saudi Arabia to help train Saudi and Yemeni units inside the kingdom to improve their combat effectiveness. The two Syrian sources, who have direct knowledge of the matter, said scores of military personnel had gone from Syria to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks.
两名直接了解此事的叙利亚消息人士说,近几周已有数十名军事人员从叙利亚前往沙特阿拉伯。他们说,这涉及顾问和训练工作,但他们的任务授权可能更为广泛。
They said advisory and training work was involved, but that their mandate could be broader. In response to a request for comment, a senior Syrian diplomat said "any suggestion of military deployments at this stage is premature", and that Syria's focus remained on internal security, protecting its borders and reconstruction.
在回应置评请求时,一名叙利亚高级外交官说,“现阶段任何有关军事部署的说法都为时过早”,并称叙利亚的关注重点仍是国内安全、保卫边境和重建。
The diplomat said a Syrian-Saudi defense cooperation deal signed on Wednesday "specifically includes advisory support, training and exchange of expertise".
这名外交官说,周三签署的叙利亚与沙特防务合作协议“明确包括顾问支持、训练和专业知识交流”。
A senior Saudi official told Reuters that ongoing expertise sharing with Syria was "mainly to restructure the Syrian forces ... but that doesn't mean also our Syrian partners don't help us in their combat experience regarding fighting militias".
一名沙特高级官员对路透社表示,与叙利亚正在进行的专业知识共享“主要是为了重组叙利亚部队……但这并不意味着我们的叙利亚伙伴不会在打击民兵的作战经验方面帮助我们”。
Joint training exercises were under way and more were planned in both security and defence, the Saudi official added in response to a request for comment.
这名沙特官员在回应置评请求时补充说,联合训练演习正在进行中,并计划在安全和防务两方面举行更多演习。
Saudi Arabia and Syria signed the defense pact on Wednesday during a visit to Riyadh by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, his second meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in less than a month.
沙特阿拉伯与叙利亚于周三签署了防务协定,当时叙利亚总统艾哈迈德·沙拉正在访问利雅得,这是他在不到一个月内第二次与王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼会面。双方未公布细节。
No details were announced. Washington has urged Damascus to move cautiously, the senior US official said, adding that any Syrian deployment to help in the Yemen war risked embroiling the country in the wider war in the region — something it has avoided.
一位美国高级官员表示,华盛顿已敦促大马士革谨慎行事,并补充称,任何叙利亚部署兵力协助也门战争的举动都可能使该国卷入更广泛的地区战争——这是叙利亚一直避免的。
The Saudi government did not respond to a request for comment, nor did the Syrian Defence Ministry, the US State Department, Yemen's Saudi-backed government or the Houthis.
沙特政府、叙利亚国防部、美国国务院、也门的沙特支持政府以及胡塞武装均未回应置评请求。
MECCA PACT Syria has emerged as a close ally of Saudi Arabia and the United States since rebels led by Sharaa toppled Bashar al-Assad, an ally of Iran, in 2024.
麦加协定 自2024年由沙拉领导的反政府武装推翻伊朗盟友巴沙尔·阿萨德以来,叙利亚已成为沙特阿拉伯和美国的亲密盟友。
Syria's reconstituted military is made up of former rebels who fought for years against Assad and Iran-backed groups that went to help him against the insurgents.
叙利亚重组后的军队由前反政府武装组成,他们曾多年对抗阿萨德以及前来协助阿萨德对抗叛乱分子的伊朗支持武装。
Turkey, a close ally of Damascus, on Thursday ratified a defence pact signed in Mecca in August between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, clearing the way for Ankara to send military support to Riyadh.
作为大马士革亲密盟友的土耳其,于周四批准了巴基斯坦、沙特阿拉伯和土耳其于8月在麦加签署的防务协定,为安卡拉向利雅得提供军事支持铺平了道路。
The senior Syrian diplomat said the Saudi-Syrian "agreement may evolve to include broader defence cooperation in the future, such as" the Mecca pact.
这位叙利亚高级外交官表示,沙特-叙利亚“协议未来可能演变为包含更广泛的防务合作,例如”麦加协定。

这些贷款为一个努力振兴经济、面临数千亿美元重建账单的国家提供了关键生命线。
Since the Yemen war restarted, the Houthis have seized territory from Yemeni government control in some areas while the government has made small gains in others.
也门战争重燃以来,胡塞武装已在部分地区从也门政府手中夺取领土,而政府军在其他地区取得了小规模进展。胡塞武装向沙特阿拉伯的机场和石油设施发射导弹,沙特则发动空袭支援其也门盟友。
The Houthis have fired missiles at Saudi airports and oil facilities, while Saudi Arabia has launched airstrikes in support of its Yemeni allies. Reuters reported in October that Syria was considering providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia and that options being considered included defensive aid to protect the kingdom from attacks, or deployment of forces in an offensive capacity to help Saudi-backed Yemeni troops fight the Houthis.
路透社10月报道称,叙利亚正考虑向沙特阿拉伯提供军事援助,考虑中的选项包括提供防御性援助以保护沙特免受袭击,或部署兵力以进攻性身份协助沙特支持的也门政府军作战胡塞武装。
