The authorities asserted that Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a series of offensives against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, leaving over seventy individuals wounded and engulfing the kingdom's petroleum installations and public utilities in a conflagration.

當局宣稱,由伊朗撐腰的也門胡塞武裝叛軍於週二對沙特阿拉伯發動一連串攻勢,致使逾七十人掛彩,並令該王國的石油設施及公用事業陷入一片火海。

This assault marks a significant escalation in the rekindled hostilities between a pivotal American ally and Iran's network of proxies, the reverberations of which threaten to further destabilize a region already convulsed by nearly three years of conflict, while posing fresh shocks to the global economic order.

此次攻擊標誌著美國關鍵盟友伊朗代理人網絡之間敵對行動重新點燃重大升級其連鎖效應恐將進一步撼動一個已因近三年戰事而動盪不安的地區,對全球經濟體系構成新的衝擊

The weeks-long conflagration has placed formidable strain upon an already beleaguered global petroleum supply chain, attributable to Houthi forces targeting the crucial maritime arteries through which Saudi Arabia channels its crude to international markets, whilst the Strait of Hormuz has been rendered all but inoperative by the military standoff between Washington and Tehran.

數週以來的衝突對本已捉襟見肘的全球石油供應鏈構成了嚴峻壓力此乃由於胡塞武裝將矛頭指向沙特阿拉伯賴以向國際市場輸送原油的關鍵航運動脈,而霍爾木茲海峽因美伊之間的軍事對峙陷入癱瘓

Tuesday's assault delivered a precision strike upon Saudi Arabia's petroleum infrastructure linked to the Bab el-Mandeb Straitthat serpentine strategic waterway skirting the southern extremity of the Arabian Peninsula, which commands the vital chokepoint between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

週二的襲擊精準打擊了沙特阿拉伯連接至曼德海峽——這條蜿蜒於阿拉伯半島南端扼守紅海與亞丁灣之間咽喉要衝的戰略水道——的石油基礎設施

The assault that erupted at daybreak on Tuesday came mere hours after the insurgents accused Saudi Arabia of launching an airstrike on a prison in the northern Yemeni province of Al Jawf.

週二破曉時分爆發的攻擊恰逢叛軍指控沙特阿拉伯也門北部焦夫省一所監獄實施空襲之後數小時。

That aerial bombardment claimed the lives of at least seven individuals, among them a young child, and left a further seven wounded.

該次空襲致使至少七人罹難,其中包括一名幼童另有七人受傷

Brigadier General Turki al-Maliki, the spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition's operations in Yemen, asserted that the insurgents had launched assaults on the "civilian and economic infrastructure" of cities within Saudi Arabia, including Abha, Jizan, Najran, and Khamis Mushait.

沙特領導聯軍在也門作戰的發言人圖爾基·馬勒基準將指出,叛軍對沙特阿拉伯境內艾卜哈、吉贊、納傑蘭及海米斯穆謝特等城市的「民用與經濟基礎設施」發動了襲擊。

According to his account, the total number of casualties amounted to seventy-three, including women and children, and he solemnly asserted that this act constituted a 'grave escalation,' promptly vowing that retaliatory measures would inevitably be undertaken.

據其所述,傷亡人數共計七十三人,其中涵蓋婦孺,並嚴正指陳此舉堪稱「嚴重升級」,旋即誓言必將採取報復性行動。

The conflagration unleashed by the assault engulfed numerous petroleum installations and public utilities across southern Saudi Arabia, whereupon the Saudi Ministry of Energy issued a public declaration that operations at the affected facilities had been brought to a complete, albeit temporary, standstill.

襲擊引發的烈焰吞噬了沙特南部多處石油設施公用事業沙特能源部對外聲明相關設施的運作暫時全面停擺

The southern region hosts an extensive petroleum infrastructure, encompassing a refinery in Jizan with a daily production capacity of 400,000 barrels, ranking it among the most substantial refining facilities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

南部地區設有規模宏大的石油基礎設施涵蓋吉贊一座日產能四十萬桶煉油廠此廠沙特阿拉伯境內最具規模的煉油設施之一

The Houthi forces had previously launched an assault on Abha International Airport.

胡塞武裝此前艾卜哈機場發動襲擊

The Ministry of Energy indicated that firefighting crews were making every effort to extinguish the blaze on Tuesday morning.

能源部指出消防人員於週二上午正全力撲滅火勢

In a pre-recorded video statement, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Houthi forces, asserted that they had launched dozens of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles against oil and economic infrastructure in southern Saudi Arabia, as well as an airbase.

在一段預先錄製的影像聲明中,胡塞武裝的軍事發言人葉海亞·薩雷准將宣稱他們沙烏地阿拉伯南部的石油與經濟基礎設施以及一座空軍基地發射了數十枚彈道飛彈無人機

He asserted that the targets of his strikes were fixed upon the Jizan primary and downstream industries citya pivotal industrial and logistical hub situated in the southwestern corner of Saudi Arabia, along the littoral of the Red Sea.

他宣稱其攻擊目標鎖定吉贊初級及下游產業城——此乃沙特阿拉伯西南隅紅海沿岸樞紐級工業與物流重鎮

The insurgents further redirected their offensive towards the Aramco petroleum installations in Najran and Abha, extending their reach to encompass King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait.

叛軍復將矛頭指向納傑蘭艾卜哈兩地之阿美石油公司設施並及於海米斯穆謝特哈立德國王空軍基地

Sareh levelled a grave accusation against Saudi Arabia, asserting that it deliberately sought to exacerbate regional tensions, and issued a stern admonition that any infringement upon his nation or its people would be met with an unyielding and resolute response.

薩雷嚴正指控沙特阿拉伯蓄意加劇區域緊張局勢嚴詞警告對我國我國人民之任何侵犯,必將予以堅定不移之回應

During his visit to Moscow on Tuesday, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, unequivocally condemned the Houthi militants' recourse to violence, asserting that their actions are driven by self-serving interests rather than the collective welfare of Yemen, and that they have flagrantly disregarded the numerous opportunities for negotiated peace that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly proffered.

沙特阿拉伯外交部長費薩爾·本·法爾漢親王於週二訪問莫斯科期間嚴詞譴責胡塞武裝訴諸暴力之舉指其意在謀求一己私利而非也門之整體福祉全然漠視沙特王國屢屢拋出之談判和平契機

At a joint press conference co-chaired with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, he further expounded that the Houthis' latest provocation against the Kingdom constitutes an integral component of a series of deliberate escalatory actions; in response, Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to adopt all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and security.

他在與俄羅斯外交部長謝爾蓋·拉夫羅夫共同主持的聯合記者會上進一步闡述胡塞武裝對王國的最新挑釁行為實為一連串蓄意升級行動的組成部分對此沙特阿拉伯將毫不遲疑地採取一切必要措施以堅定捍衛自身主權與安全

A fresh spate of armed hostilities threatens to reignite the conflagration of the nation's civil war, which first erupted in 2014 when Houthi forces overran the capital, Sanaa, and swept across the vast northern expanses of Yemen, compelling the government into exile abroad.

新一輪武裝衝突恐將再度點燃該國內戰的烽火此內戰肇始於2014年彼時胡塞武裝攻陷首都薩那席捲也門北部廣袤疆域,迫使政府流亡海外

The following year, a coalition spearheaded by Saudi Arabia intervened militarily, with the avowed aim of restoring the government's sovereign authority.

翌年沙特阿拉伯所率領的聯軍揮師介入意圖匡復政府的統治權柄

According to United Nations estimates, this conflict has claimed the lives of at least 150,000 people and has repeatedly brought the nation to the brink of famine.

根據聯合國的估算此場戰事已奪走至少十五萬條人命不時將該國推向瀕臨饑饉的邊緣

The ceasefire agreement brokered four years ago initially served to temper hostilities between the Houthi forces and the Saudi-backed government and its allies; however, in recent weeks, the intensity of ground engagements between the two parties has escalated with mounting ferocity, evincing an increasingly grave trajectory of escalation.

四年前所締結的停戰協議曾一度使胡塞武裝沙特阿拉伯所支持之政府及其盟友敵對行動趨於和緩然而近數週以來雙方在地面上的交戰態勢愈演愈烈呈現出日益嚴峻的升級趨勢

The World Health Organization has indicated that, between 23 August and 5 September, the precipitous escalation of hostilities has culminated in a tragedy claiming at least 194 lives and leaving over 880 individuals wounded.

世界衛生組織指出自8月23日至9月5日期間衝突的急劇升級已釀成至少194人喪生逾880人受傷的慘劇

The United Nations, for its part, has reported that within the past 27 hours, the conflict has further compelled upwards of 21,000 people into a state of displacement, encompassing 18,500 individuals from the governorates of Ta'izz and Hudaydah in southwestern Yemen.

聯合國則通報在過去27小時內衝突更迫使超過21,000人淪為流離失所之眾其中涵蓋也門西南部塔伊茲省荷台達省的18,500人

Abdusattor Esoev, the International Organization for Migration's mission chief in Yemen, articulated: "These families arrive utterly destitute: bereft of shelter, devoid of sustenance, and with no means to ascertain whether the road back home holds any semblance of safety.

國際移民組織駐也門任務負責人阿卜杜薩托爾·埃索耶夫闡述道:「這些家庭抵達之際可謂一貧如洗既無棲身之所亦無果腹之糧更無從判斷歸途是否安然無虞

Many among them have already endured displacement once, twice, or even four times over."

其中諸多成員此前已歷經一次兩次乃至四度流離失所之苦。」

The latest escalation stems from an attempted flight by the Houthi forces in July from Tehran to Sana'a, the Yemeni capital, a move that directly defied the decade-long aerial and maritime blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition.

最新的升級源於胡塞武裝於七月間試圖自德黑蘭飛往也門首都薩那之航班此舉直接挑戰沙特阿拉伯領導之聯軍所實施歷時長達十年空中與海上封鎖

The coalition promptly launched airstrikes, precisely striking the runway at Sana'a International Airport, thereby rendering the flight unable to land as scheduled.

聯軍隨即發動空襲精準擊中薩那機場跑道致使該航班無法如期降落

The Houthi forces retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi Arabia and striking Saudi vessels along Red Sea shipping lanes, thereby precipitating the collapse of the ceasefire agreement that had largely held since 2022.

胡塞武裝以彈道導彈及無人機對沙特阿拉伯實施打擊並襲擊紅海航線上的沙特船隻以此作為回應從而致使2022年大致停火的停戰協議就此瓦解

The insurgents likewise launched assaults against Saudi-led coalition forces within Yemen, thereby precipitating retaliatory offensives by government troops against the Houthi militants along Yemen's western coastline and in other regions.

叛軍亦對也門境內的沙特聯軍部隊施以襲擊,致使政府軍於也門西海岸及其他地區對胡塞武裝展開報復性攻勢。

Government forces have reclaimed swathes of territory in Hodeidah and Taiz from Houthi control, subsequently launching offensives against insurgent strongholds in the northern province of Jawf and the central provinces of Marib and Al Bayda.

政府部隊胡塞武裝勢力手中收復荷台達塔伊茲省部分疆域,復北部焦夫省中部馬里卜貝達兩省叛軍發動攻勢

The Houthi forces constitute a pivotal component of the proxy network that Iran has meticulously established across the region; in recent years, their assaults on regional shipping, Israel, and neighbouring states have evinced a pronounced escalation, a stratagem designed to retaliate against Israeli military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, and one which they have persisted in executing amid the recent hostilities between the United States and Israel on the one hand and Iran on the other.

胡塞武裝構成伊朗於該區域所佈建代理人網絡關鍵環節近年來針對區域航運以色列周邊國家所發動之襲擊行動呈現顯著升級態勢此舉旨在回應以色列於加薩黎巴嫩所進行的軍事行動並於近期美以兩國與伊朗爆發衝突之際持續貫徹此類作為。

Although the insurgents customarily coordinate their military operations with Iran, they nonetheless, on occasion, autonomously devise and execute certain measures in order to pursue and consolidate their own strategic interests.

叛軍雖慣常與伊朗協調其軍事行動,然亦不時自主策劃並執行若干舉措,以謀求並鞏固自身之戰略利益。
