Authorities reported that Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a series of attacks on Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, injuring more than seventy people and igniting fierce fires at the kingdom's oil facilities and utility pipelines.

當局指出獲伊朗支持也門胡塞叛軍於週二向沙特阿拉伯發動一連串襲擊導致逾七十人受傷,引發該王國石油設施公用事業管線熊熊烈火

This attack marks a significant escalation in the resurgence of conflict between a key US ally and an Iranian proxy group, while also harboring the potential to further destabilize a region already unsettled by nearly three years of warfare, thereby posing a fresh shock to the global economy.

此次攻擊標誌著美國關鍵盟友伊朗代理人集團之間衝突再起重大升級同時潛藏著進一步動搖一個近三年戰事動盪不安的地區之風險,並全球經濟構成新的衝擊

Weeks of conflict have placed additional strain on an already tight global oil supply, as Houthi militants have targeted shipping lanes used by Saudi Arabia to export oil to world markets, and the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted by the US-Iran war.

數週來的衝突對原本已吃緊的全球石油供應構成更大壓力因胡塞武裝瞄準沙特阿拉伯向世界市場輸油的航線霍爾木茲海峽因美伊戰爭受阻

週二的襲擊擊中沙特連接替代路線曼德海峽的石油設施該海峽位於阿拉伯半島南端連接紅海與亞丁灣的戰略水道。

The attack in the early hours of Tuesday came just hours after the rebels accused Saudi Arabia of launching an airstrike on a prison in the northern Yemeni province of Al Jawf.

週二清晨的襲擊發生在叛軍指控沙特阿拉伯空襲也門北部焦夫省一所監獄數小時後

That airstrike resulted in the deaths of at least seven individuals, including a child, and left seven others wounded.

The spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen, Major General Turki al-Maliki, stated that the rebels had targeted "civilian and economic infrastructure" in the Saudi cities of Abha, Jizan, Najran, and Khamis Mushait.

在也門作戰的沙特領導聯軍發言人圖爾基·馬勒基准將表示叛軍襲擊了沙特阿拉伯艾卜哈吉贊納傑蘭海米斯穆謝特等城市的「民用與經濟基礎設施」。

He pointed out that a total of 73 people were injured, including women and children, and characterized the attack as a "serious escalation," vowing that retaliatory action would inevitably follow.

指出共有73人受傷其中包括婦女兒童,並將此次襲擊定性為「嚴重升級」,矢言必將展開報復行動

The attack ignited raging fires across multiple oil facilities and public utility sites in southern Saudi Arabia, prompting the Saudi Energy Ministry to announce that operations at the affected installations had been temporarily suspended.

襲擊行動在沙特南部地區多處石油設施公用事業單位引發熊熊大火沙特能源部對外表示相關設施運營已暫時中止

The southern region is home to extensive petroleum infrastructure, with Jizan hosting a refinery with a daily capacity of 400,000 barrels, ranking it among Saudi Arabia's foremost refining hubs.

南部地區設有規模宏大的石油基礎設施其中吉贊擁有一座日產能達40萬桶煉油廠,此廠堪稱沙特阿拉伯首屈一指的煉油重鎮之一

Furthermore, the Houthi forces had previously launched attacks on Abha International Airport.

Saree accused Saudi Arabia of escalating the situation and warned that "every act of aggression against our country and people will be met with a resolute response."

薩雷指責沙特阿拉伯導致局勢升級警告說對我們國家和人民每一次侵略都將得到堅決回應”。

During his visit to Moscow on Tuesday, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, accused the Houthi forces of resorting to violence to further their own interests rather than considering the broader welfare of Yemen, despite the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia having offered opportunities for peace through negotiation.

沙特阿拉伯外交大臣費薩爾·本·法爾漢親王周二訪問莫斯科期間指責胡塞武裝為謀求自身利益訴諸暴力而非顧及也門整體利益儘管沙特王國已提供透過談判實現和平的機會

He added during a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that the Houthis' latest escalation against the Kingdom is part of a series of provocations, and that Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to defend itself.

與俄羅斯外交部長謝爾蓋·拉夫羅夫共同舉行的聯合記者會補充說胡塞武裝對王國的最新升級一系列挑釁的一部分,沙特阿拉伯將毫不猶豫地捍衛自己

A fresh round of conflict could reignite the country's civil war, which began in 2014 when Houthi forces seized the capital Sanaa and much of northern Yemen, forcing the government into exile.

新一輪的衝突可能再度點燃該國的內戰此內戰始於2014年當時胡塞武裝佔領了首都薩那也門北部大部分地區迫使政府流亡

The following year, a Saudi-led coalition intervened in an attempt to restore the government's authority.

次年沙特領導的聯軍進行干預試圖恢復政府的權力

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

根據聯合國的估算這場衝突已奪走至少15萬條人命不時將該國推向瀕臨饑荒的邊緣

The ceasefire agreement signed four years ago once eased the fighting between the Houthi forces and the Saudi-backed government and its allies, yet in recent weeks, ground clashes between the two sides have grown increasingly intense.

四年前簽訂的停戰協議曾一度緩和了胡塞武裝與沙特支持的政府及其盟友之間的戰鬥,但近幾週來,雙方在地面的交戰卻日益激烈。

The World Health Organization has noted that, between August 23 and September 5, the sharp escalation in conflict has resulted in at least 194 fatalities and over 880 injuries.

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導致至少194人喪生逾880人受傷

The United Nations, for its part, has reported that within the past 27 hours, the conflict has compelled more than 21,000 people to flee their homes, including 18,500 displaced individuals from the southwestern Yemeni provinces of Taiz and Hodeidah.

聯合國則表示在過去27小時內衝突更迫使超過21,000人逃離家園其中包括來自也門西南部塔伊茲省與荷台達省的18,500名流離失所者

Abdusattor Esoyev, head of the International Organization for Migration's mission in Yemen, stated: "These families arrive with nothingno shelter, no food, and no way of knowing whether it is safe to return.

國際移民組織駐也門任務負責人阿卜杜薩托爾·埃索耶夫表示:「這些家庭抵達時一無所有——沒有住所沒有食物也無法得知返回是否安全

Many among them have already been displaced once, twice, or even four times before."

他們之中許多人先前流離失所一次兩次甚至四次。」

The latest escalation stems from the Houthis' attempt in July to exploit a flight from Tehran to Sanaa, Yemen's capital, in defiance of the decade-long air and naval blockade imposed by the Saudi-led coalition.

最新的升級源於胡塞武裝7月試圖利用從德黑蘭飛往也門首都薩那的航班挑戰沙特領導的聯軍實施了長達十年的空中與海上封鎖

Coalition airstrikes struck the runway at Sanaa airport, preventing the aircraft from landing.

聯軍空襲擊中薩那機場跑道阻止航班降落

In response, the Houthi forces launched missile and drone strikes against Saudi Arabia and its vessels in the Red Sea, an act that effectively brought an end to the ceasefire agreement that had largely held since 2022.

胡塞武裝以導彈和無人機襲擊沙特阿拉伯及其在紅海的船隻作為回應此舉終結了2022年大致停火的停戰協議

The rebels also launched offensives against Saudi-led coalition forces within Yemen, prompting government troops to carry out retaliatory strikes against the Houthis along the country's western coast and elsewhere.

叛軍亦對也門境內的沙特聯軍部隊發動攻勢,促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打擊。

Government forces have reclaimed parts of Hodeidah and Taiz provinces from Houthi control, and have launched offensives against rebel strongholds in the northern province of Jawf and the central provinces of Marib and Al Bayda.

政府部隊自胡塞武裝手中收復荷台達及塔伊茲省的部分疆域,並北部焦夫省中部馬里卜、貝達省的叛軍據點發動攻勢

As part of Iran's network of proxies in the region, the Houthi forces have in recent years intensified their attacks on regional shipping, Israel, and neighboring states, aiming to respond to Israeli military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, and have likewise done so amid the recent confrontations between the United States and Israel against Iran.

胡塞武裝作為伊朗在該地區代理人網絡的一環近年來加強了對區域航運以色列周邊國家的攻擊旨在回應以色列在加沙黎巴嫩的軍事行動,並在近期美國與以色列對伊朗的衝突中亦有此舉

Although the rebels frequently coordinate their operations with Iran, they also undertake certain measures independently in pursuit of their own interests.

叛軍雖常與伊朗協調行動,但亦會獨立採取若干措施,以謀求自身利益。
