也门胡塞武装袭击利雅得机场致三人遇难Houthi Strikes on Riyadh Airport Kill Three, Saudi Officials Say

沙特阿拉伯民航总局周五发布的声明披露了袭击的具体经过。周四下午的第一起袭击直接以哈立德国王国际机场的基础设施为目标，紧接着发生的第二起袭击则击中了沙特阿拉伯航空停放在停机坪上的一架客机。沙特官方证实，遇袭客机在受到撞击时处于空置状态，机上当时没有旅客。然而，两次袭击仍造成三名沙特公民死亡，并致使沙特公民以及多个国籍的常住居民出现不同程度的受伤。

Details released by Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation specified the sequence of Thursday's strikes at King Khalid International Airport. The initial strike on Thursday afternoon directly targeted airport facilities, while the second strike hit a commercial aircraft belonging to the national flag carrier Saudia. Aviation officials confirmed that the plane was empty at the time of the impact and had no passengers aboard. Despite this, the dual strikes killed three Saudi citizens and caused injuries to a number of Saudi nationals alongside foreign residents of various nationalities.

沙特阿拉伯航空随后发表独立声明，证实遇难者包括其资深机长哈穆德·阿里·阿尔卡尔萨米，并对这一发生在首都国际机场的事件表达深切哀痛。尽管袭击造成客机损坏、地面设施损毁并造成死伤，沙特民航总局在周五确认，利雅得哈立德国王国际机场的各项地面运营工作已完成应急处置，往返该枢纽的所有空中交通秩序目前已恢复正常。

Saudia subsequently confirmed in a separate statement that Captain Hamoud Ali Alkalthami died in the incident, conveying profound sadness over the loss at the capital's international hub. Although the strikes caused physical damage to the passenger plane and surrounding airport infrastructure, the civil aviation authority affirmed on Friday that ground operations, scheduled departures, and overall air traffic at King Khalid International Airport had returned to normal.

也门胡塞武装周四发表声明，声称动用两枚导弹对哈立德国王国际机场实施了打击。该组织军方发言人公开将近期的袭击定性为对沙特军事打击的回击，指出沙特方面此前在24小时内发动了60次空袭与导弹袭击。胡塞武装还声称同期瞄准了靠近也门边境的沙特奈季兰市机场以及更北部的海米斯穆谢特空军基地，不过沙特官方并未证实后两处军事设施遭到攻击。

Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility for Thursday's strikes, announcing that it launched two missiles directly targeting King Khalid International Airport. A Houthi military spokesperson framed the attacks on Saudi transportation infrastructure as retaliation for military operations, pointing to 60 Saudi airstrikes and missile strikes launched within a preceding 24-hour window. The group also stated it had targeted an airport in the border city of Najran and the Khamis Mushait air base located further north, though Saudi authorities issued no confirmation regarding strikes on those two additional installations.

周四针对首都机场的致命打击发生前，沙特交通枢纽已在当周遭遇一连串袭击。民航部门数据显示，10月6日和7日，针对阿卜哈国际机场以及哈立德国王国际机场的袭击已造成三人死亡。其中阿卜哈国际机场在周三的袭击中记录到两人死亡、28人受伤，哈立德国王国际机场此前也有一人遇难。胡塞武装坚称，对沙特境内交通运输中枢的打击，旨在报复沙特对也门政府军作战行动的支持。

Thursday's airport strikes followed a succession of deadly barrages against Saudi civilian hubs earlier in the week. According to civil aviation authorities, separate strikes on October 6 and October 7 at Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport resulted in three fatalities. Specifically, the Wednesday attack on Abha International Airport killed two people and injured 28 others, while a prior strike on King Khalid International Airport claimed one life. The Houthis maintained that strikes targeting Saudi airports stem directly from the kingdom's backing of Yemeni government forces in the ground war.

袭击引发的混乱迅速波及利雅得民用交通与日常生活。航空数据分析机构Cirium提供的数据显示，周四当天沙特境内数百架出港航班被取消；截至周四当晚，原定于次日执飞的航班中已有31架次被迫取消。多家国际航空公司相继暂停航线，哈立德国王国际机场管理部门随后向旅客发出提示，要求旅客在动身前往机场前必须与航空公司核实最新执飞动态。

The barrage caused widespread disruption to commercial aviation and civilian life across Riyadh. Aviation analytics firm Cirium reported that hundreds of flights departing Saudi Arabia were canceled on Thursday, with an additional 31 departures scheduled for the following day called off by Thursday evening. Several international carriers suspended service to the kingdom, prompting King Khalid International Airport officials to advise travelers that contacting airlines prior to departing for the terminal was an operational necessity.

周四袭击期间，剧烈的爆炸声在利雅得全城回荡，促使驻扎在沙特首都的外交人员紧急就地寻找避难场所，城内的国际学校也启动了安全防护规程。沙特民防局通报称，防空拦截产生的残骸落入利雅得市区，导致一所幼儿园和一处医疗设施受损。民防部门并未公布两处受损建筑物的具体毁损细节，也未说明现场是否存在人员伤亡。

As explosions echoed across Riyadh during Thursday's strikes, diplomats stationed in the capital sheltered in place, while international schools enacted safety procedures. Saudi Arabia's civil defense agency reported that interception debris fell into residential areas, damaging a local kindergarten and a medical complex. Authorities did not provide details regarding the extent of structural destruction at either site or confirm whether any casualties occurred there.

针对也门胡塞武装对交通设施的打击，沙特领导的多国联军在周五发表声明，证实联军部队已摧毁胡塞武装使用的三处导弹发射装置。联军发言人图尔基·马勒基准将表示，对于胡塞武装针对平民及民用基础设施的袭击行动，联军将予以坚决回应。在此次反击的同时，路透社周四报道称，法国正与沙特阿拉伯探讨合作途径，评估由法国军队协助保护沙特红海沿岸延布石油终端的可行性。

Following the strikes on King Khalid International Airport, the Saudi-led coalition announced on Friday that its forces had targeted and destroyed three missile launchers used by Houthi fighters. Coalition spokesperson Major General Turki al-Malki emphasized in a formal statement that attacks against civilians and civilian installations would meet a firm military response. Alongside the coalition's actions, Reuters reported on Thursday that France and Saudi Arabia are examining potential arrangements for the French military to assist in safeguarding the Yanbu oil terminal located on the kingdom's Red Sea coast.

沙特的地区盟友也同步强化了防务合作。巴基斯坦外交部发言人萨贾德·海德尔·汗周五向媒体证实，巴基斯坦在利雅得部署了相当数量的部队和装备，执行防御性任务以维护沙特领土安全，并明确这些驻军不会越境进入也门袭击胡塞武装。今年8月，巴基斯坦、沙特阿拉伯与土耳其签署了一项三方防务协定，规定任何一国受袭时三国将互相援助；周一，土耳其与巴基斯坦进一步商定协助沙特落实威慑措施并派遣力量，配合也门政府军对胡塞武装的反攻。

Regional security partnerships also moved forward as Pakistan's foreign ministry confirmed on Friday that it maintains a substantial military presence and defensive resources inside Riyadh to safeguard Saudi territory. Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Sajjad Haider Khan clarified that these troops are strictly dedicated to defensive duties and will not cross the border to conduct strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The posture follows an August tripartite defense pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey committing mutual assistance if attacked, as well as an agreement earlier in the week where Ankara and Islamabad pledged deterrence support alongside deployments backing Yemeni counteroffensives.

地面战事的重新激化构成了机场袭击的核心背景。胡塞武装近期发起快速攻势，夺取了也门红海沿岸的大片领土，其中包括对全球能源走廊至关重要的曼德海峡周边区域以及重要港口城市摩卡。随后也门政府军发起反攻，并宣布已将胡塞武装赶出红海沿岸战略要地、夺回摩卡港并确保曼德海峡安全，但胡塞武装坚称仍在坚守阵地。两军在能源运输咽喉要道的反复拉锯直接加剧了地区摩擦。

The surge in missile attacks follows an escalation of ground warfare across Yemen's western coast. Houthi fighters launched a rapid offensive in recent weeks, seizing stretches of territory along the Red Sea coast including areas around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital chokepoint for global shipping and energy supplies. While Yemen's internationally recognized government declared a counteroffensive, claiming to have pushed Houthi forces out of key coastal positions and secured both the port city of Mocha and the strait, Houthi commanders maintain that their units continue to hold ground in the contested areas.

沙特阿拉伯对当前的军事僵局展现出强硬外交态度。一名地区消息人士周五表示，利雅得方面不会屈服于胡塞武装的军事敲诈，并拒绝在也门政府军收复最近几周失去的全部领土前接受停火协议。也门战火的重新燃起与中东更广泛的安全危机紧密相连，美以两国在2月下旬对伊朗发动联合袭击后，地区局势持续外溢。尽管美国总统特朗普表示美国将在11月3日中期选举后才会对伊朗发动袭击，且双方正就美方提议展开接触，但也门前线的激烈攻防已让沙特核心枢纽承受越来越直接的打击压力。

Riyadh has maintained an unyielding diplomatic stance toward the rebel movement. A regional source indicated on Friday that Saudi Arabia refuses to bow to what it described as military blackmail, rejecting any truce proposal until government forces recover all territory lost over recent weeks. The renewed clashes in Yemen unfolding alongside the broader regional fallout from the joint U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran in late February have deepened the crisis. Although U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Washington will not launch strikes against Iran until after the November 3 midterm elections and confirmed ongoing discussions with Tehran, violence on the Yemeni battlefield continues to exert direct pressure on Saudi transportation hubs.
