自2023年以哈戰爭爆發以來,青年運動持續襲擊紅海船隻。伊朗封鎖荷莫茲海峽後,紅海成為石油出口替代航線,曼德海峽控制權具有戰略意義。
(中央社杜拜4日綜合外電報導)有伊朗撐腰的葉門叛軍「青年運動」昨天向戰略要地曼德海峽推進,與沙烏地阿拉伯支持的政府軍爆發近年來最致命衝突,至少129人喪生。
法新社根據各方消息統計,迄今死亡人數攀升至129人。
一名葉門軍方官員告訴法新社,他麾下有66人陣亡;接近青年運動(Houthi)的醫療及軍事消息人士則透露,至少62名青年運動武裝分子喪命。另一名醫療消息人士說,還有1名平民身亡。
戰事於昨天爆發。青年運動發動地面攻勢,並在沿海地區附近發射火箭彈與無人機,爭奪位在紅海南端入口、連接亞丁灣的狹窄區域曼德海峽(Bab al-Mandab)的控制權。
青年運動近幾週一再襲擊沙烏地在紅海的船隻。在伊朗封鎖荷莫茲海峽(Strait of Hormuz),使波斯灣出口運輸幾乎停擺後,紅海已成為石油出口的替代航線。
自從以哈戰爭2023年爆發以來,青年運動持續攻擊紅海船舶,如今更試圖鞏固他們對這條全球最繁忙航道之一的控制權。
軍方消息人士告訴法新社,青年運動的攻勢目標在於切斷葉門政府所掌控、已遭砲火攻擊數週的港市莫加(Mokha)與外界的聯繫,同時向鄰近曼德海峽的地區推進。
一名軍方消息人士和一名塔伊茲省(Taiz)官員指出,青年運動已占領數處高地,可俯瞰紅海附近的政府軍陣地、濱海城鎮霍卡(Khokha)與更內陸的塔伊茲市。
