11月2日(路透社)——4名軍方消息人士週一告訴路透社,葉門親伊朗的胡塞武裝組織已推進至距離亞丁80公里(50英里)內。亞丁是葉門國際承認政府的主要據點及臨時首都。Nov 2 (Reuters) - Yemen's 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.
這波推進使胡塞武裝距離亞丁更近,是自2015年戰爭初期以來最近的一次。當時他們曾短暫攻入亞丁,隨後被逐出。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.
最新攻勢在美國與以色列對伊朗的更廣泛戰爭中開闢了動盪的新戰線,也使胡塞武裝和沙烏地阿拉伯更深地捲入這場區域衝突。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.
胡塞武裝已升高對沙烏地阿拉伯的攻擊;沙國支持葉門政府,而沙烏地領導的聯軍則以加強打擊葉門境內胡塞武裝據點作為回應。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.
暴力衝突打破了2022年由聯合國斡旋達成的停火。該停火大致上遏止了這場始於2014年的戰爭中的重大攻擊;當年胡塞武裝將政府逐出沙那。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.
推進威脅主要路線ADVANCE THREATENS MAIN ROUTE
胡塞武裝的推進威脅到連接亞丁與遭圍困城市塔伊茲的主要道路沿線戰略據點;這條道路是葉門西南部的重要交通命脈。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,胡塞武裝9月發動更大範圍的攻勢,沿著葉門紅海海岸南下,並奪取曼德海峽沿岸地區。曼德海峽是全球最重要航道之一,也是沙烏地石油出口至亞洲的關鍵路線。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.
軍方消息人士表示,這波推進讓胡塞武裝有機會從側翼包抄位於俯瞰曼德海峽山脈一帶的政府軍。政府軍僅在數週前才將胡塞武裝戰士逐出該地區。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.
近幾週來,胡塞武裝對亞丁的攻擊也加劇。亞丁自2015年以來一直是政府臨時首都。該組織週三警告民眾撤離後襲擊亞丁機場,總統府也在10月遭到攻擊。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.
週一戰鬥仍在進行FIGHTING UNDERWAY ON MONDAY
週一,胡塞武裝與政府軍在圖爾巴哈區入口處一座軍營交戰。圖爾巴哈區是通往亞丁的主要路線之一。這座軍營距拉赫季省首府約50公里,距亞丁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.
消息人士表示,胡塞武裝3天前對馬卡提拉的政府軍據點發動攻擊,此後已奪下整個地區。這片山區俯瞰連接塔伊茲與亞丁的道路。他們表示,胡塞武裝迫使政府軍向圖爾巴哈撤退。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.
葉門新聞部長未立即回應媒體詢問。Yemen's information minister did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
胡塞武裝官員哈米德・里茲克(Hamid Rizq)發布一段路透社無法立即查證的影片,稱畫面顯示該組織戰士進入馬卡提拉區的拉布市場。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.
戰爭期間,這條路線一直是政府控制區與塔伊茲之間最後僅存的連結。That route has been the last remaining link between government-held territory and Taiz during the war.
塔伊茲是葉門第三大城,自10月初以來一直遭到包圍;當時胡塞武裝切斷了該市往南通往亞丁的主要道路。圍困已造成超過10萬人流離失所,並導致食物、燃料和藥品短缺。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.
