Iran-backed Houthi fighters from Yemen launched a big attack on Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
伊朗支持的也門胡塞武裝週二對沙特阿拉伯發動大規模襲擊。
The attack hurt 73 people. It also started large fires at oil sites and public services in several southern areas.
這次襲擊造成73人受傷,並在多個南部地區點燃石油設施和公用事業的大火。
Saudi Arabia's energy ministry said that work at these sites has been stopped for now.
沙特能源部表示,這些設施的運營已暫時暫停。
The Houthis said they fired dozens of ballistic missiles and drones. The targets were oil sites, economic targets, and an air base in southern Saudi Arabia.
胡塞武裝說,他們向沙特南部的石油設施、經濟目標和一座空軍基地發射了數十枚彈道導彈和無人機。
The spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, Major General Turki al-Maliki, said the attacks hit civilian and economic sites in cities like Abha, Jizan, Najran, and Khamis Mushait.
沙特領導聯軍的發言人圖爾基·馬勒基准將說,襲擊目標包括艾卜哈、吉贊、納傑蘭和海米斯穆謝特等城市的民用和經濟設施。
He called the attack a "serious escalation" and promised to retaliate.
他稱這次襲擊是「嚴重升級」,並誓言會進行報復。
The attack happened a few hours later. The rebels accused Saudi Arabia of an air strike on a prison in Jawf province in northern Yemen. That strike killed at least seven people.
襲擊發生前幾小時,叛軍指責沙特對也門北部焦夫省一所監獄進行空襲,造成至少7人死亡。
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan spoke in Moscow. He accused the Houthi forces of using violence to reach their own goals.
沙特外交部長費薩爾·本·法爾漢親王在莫斯科指責胡塞武裝使用暴力來達到自己的目的。
He said Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to protect itself.
他說沙特會毫不猶豫地保護自己。
Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree warned that "every attack against Yemen will get a strong response."
胡塞軍事發言人葉海亞·薩雷准將則警告說,對也門的「每一次侵略都將得到堅決回應」。
The reason for this escalation is clear. In July, the Houthis tried to land a flight from Tehran to Sanaa. Saudi-led airstrikes stopped it.
這次衝突升級的起因是,胡塞武裝7月試圖讓一架從德黑蘭飛往薩那的航班降落,但沙特聯軍的空襲阻止了它。
The rebels then attacked Saudi Arabia and Red Sea ships with missiles and drones. This ended the truce that had lasted since 2022.
叛軍隨後用導彈和無人機襲擊沙特及紅海船隻,結束了2022年以來的停戰協議。
The United Nations estimates that the war in Yemen has killed at least 150,000 people.
聯合國估計,也門戰爭已造成至少15萬人死亡。
The World Health Organization says that from August 23 to September 5, the conflict killed at least 194 people. More than 21,000 people lost their homes.
世界衛生組織說,從8月23日到9月5日,衝突已造成至少194人死亡,超過21000人流離失所。
