也门政府军发起全面反攻收复失地Yemen Government Launches Major Military Offensive to Retake Rebel Territory

也门总统领导委员会主席拉沙德·阿里米在全国电视讲话中表示，政府军正式启动军事行动，目标是收复共和国所有被占领土，并将国家机构与宪法权威扩展至全国每一处区域。阿里米指出，在胡塞武装切断塔伊兹与亚丁之间的关键通道并向西南沿海推进后，和平谈判的所有降级努力已经耗尽，政府必须采取直接军事行动维护国家统一与领土完整。

In a televised national address, Rashad al-Alimi, chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, declared the official start of military operations aimed at reclaiming all remaining territory held by the Houthis and restoring state institutional authority across the country. Al-Alimi stated that direct action became necessary following Houthi advances that severed the key transportation link between Taiz and Aden, asserting that opportunities for de-escalation had been exhausted after rebel maneuvers threatened southwestern coastal areas and strategic roadways.

与此同时，也门外交部长阿芙拉·祖巴向国际社会公开发表声明，呼吁地区盟友和国际伙伴为也门人民及国家机构提供坚定支持。祖巴强调，胡塞武装依靠武力强行压制民意，也门的长期安全与稳定符合全球利益，国际社会应协同应对这一民兵组织构成的安全威胁并遏制其破坏国家机构的行为。

Following the military announcement, Yemeni Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba appealed directly to foreign allies and international organizations for comprehensive backing. Al-Zouba noted in a public statement that establishing stability in Yemen serves broader global interests, urging international partners to support the Yemeni people and legitimate government bodies in confronting the armed militia, which she said continues to impose its will by force of arms and undermine constitutional governance.

据也门官方萨巴通讯社报道，也门政府军下属的“国土之盾”部队与“巨人旅”在空中掩护下展开行动，针对祖巴巴区多处胡塞武装据点推进。也门军方消息人士称，地面部队夺取了靠近曼德海峡的关键战略阵地，切断了通往该海峡的多条补给线与交通通道，并继续在控制区域进行排查以确保安全。胡塞武装方面则对失去了该区域控制权的说法予以否认。

Units from the Homeland Shield Forces and the Giants Brigades conducted ground operations under air cover against Houthi positions across the Dhubab district, according to Yemen's state news agency Saba. A military source cited by the agency stated that government troops captured key positions near the Bab al-Mandeb strait, cutting off supply lines and access roads leading toward the strategic maritime passage while combing newly secured sectors. Houthi officials denied the government's claims of territorial gains in the area.

除西南沿海方向外，也门政府军宣布针对胡塞武装控制逾十年的首都萨那发起战略攻势。在也门东北部的马里卜省，前线交火同步出现升级，政府军在省北部拉格万前线对胡塞武装阵地发起进攻，空袭力量则对希兰山附近的胡塞据点、西北部的一处军火库及增援车队实施了打击。

Beyond the southwestern coast, Yemeni government forces declared the launch of a strategic offensive pushing toward the capital, Sanaa, which has remained under Houthi control since 2014. Fighting also intensified on the northeastern front in Marib governorate, where government forces attacked Houthi positions along the Raghwan front as airstrikes struck rebel targets near Mount Helan, hitting an arms depot and military reinforcements to the northwest of Marib.

沙特领导的多国联军发言人图尔基·马利基少将表示，联军出动了100架战机为也门政府军提供支援，已确立对曼德海峡的空中保护，并摧毁了数百个胡塞武装目标。联军此前还在塔伊兹周边及托尔巴哈前线展开了97次打击行动，动用战机、无人机、火炮、导弹以及狙击火力打击胡塞武装的增援部队。

Major General Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition, stated that 100 fighter jets were deployed to support Yemeni government ground troops, securing air protection over the Bab al-Mandeb strait and destroying hundreds of Houthi targets. The coalition had also executed 97 strikes targeting Houthi reinforcements across the Tor al-Baha front and areas surrounding Taiz, using warplanes, drones, artillery, missiles, and snipers.

也门政府军发言人马吉德·阿卜杜拉·努宰利表示，军方在萨达省、焦夫省、塔伊兹省以及也门西海岸执行了1122次军事行动，消灭了1747名胡塞武装战斗人员。努宰利称，行动针对火炮与火箭阵地、防御工事、补给线、增援部队和指挥所，共摧毁或瘫痪了364辆军用及后勤车辆。这些伤亡与装备战损数据尚未得到独立核实。

Yemeni military spokesman Majed Abdullah al-Nuzaili reported that government forces neutralized 1,747 Houthi fighters across 1,122 military operations spanning Saada, al-Jawf, and Taiz governorates, as well as positions along the western coast. Al-Nuzaili said the strikes targeted artillery and rocket launch sites, fortifications, supply routes, reinforcements, and command posts, destroying or disabling 364 military and logistical vehicles. The reported casualty and vehicle loss figures could not be independently verified.

也门局势在2022年达成的停火协议于7月破裂后持续恶化。当时胡塞武装允许一架伊朗飞机降落萨那，打破了沙特对也门领空的管控，胡塞武装随后宣布对沙特实施海上封锁。9月中旬，胡塞武装进一步控制了港口城市摩卡以及曼德海峡的关键岛屿；近期胡塞武装在塔伊兹周边的推进切断了通往亚丁的陆上通道，使这座被围困逾十年的城市完全陷入孤立，导致塔伊兹周边单日交火死亡人数超过70人，自停火破裂以来的冲突已造成超过10万人流离失所。

The collapse of the fragile 2022 truce in July followed the Houthis allowing an Iranian aircraft to land in Sanaa in defiance of Saudi control over Yemeni airspace, prompting the rebels to announce a maritime blockade against Saudi Arabia. Houthi forces advanced in mid-September to capture the port city of Mocha and strategic islands in the Bab al-Mandeb strait. Recent rebel maneuvers around Taiz cut the primary road to Aden, isolating a city besieged for over a decade and leaving more than 70 people dead in clashes there in a single day, while renewed fighting displaced over 100,000 civilians.

前线冲突扩大的同时，巴基斯坦副总理兼外交部长伊沙克·达尔、国防部长赫瓦贾·阿西夫以及陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔抵达利雅得，与沙特及土耳其官员就《麦加联合防务协议》举行会谈。沙特、土耳其与巴基斯坦于8月7日签署该防务协定，规定任何一国遭受袭击均视作对三方的共同攻击。达尔此前表示，此次紧急会谈将讨论在伊朗方面进行接触后提出的一项政治接触提议，探讨将其作为应对胡塞武装军事手段的替代方案。

Against this backdrop of expanding ground combat, Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, and Army Chief Asim Munir traveled to Riyadh for trilateral talks with Saudi and Turkish counterparts under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement. Signed on August 7 to establish mutual defense commitments treating an attack on one nation as an attack on all three, the pact formed the framework for urgent discussions. Dar noted that the meetings would review a proposal for political engagement with the Houthis as an alternative to military measures following an approach by Tehran.
