利雅得机场周六再遭导弹袭击多人受伤,特朗普称美国可能加入打击胡塞

沙特首都利雅得的哈立德国王国际机场周六(10月10日)再遭导弹袭击。两名地区官员告诉美联社,一枚导弹击中了3号和4号国内航站楼所在的建筑群,多人受伤;机场紧急疏散,十余辆救护车赶赴现场。沙特民航总局证实袭击造成"多人受伤",并宣布暂停航班运营;航班追踪网站FlightAware称,过去24小时内该机场已有至少225个航班被取消。
这是该机场本周内第三次遇袭。周四(10月8日)的袭击造成3名沙特公民死亡,其中包括一名飞行员;胡塞武装宣称对本周早些时候的袭击负责,但截至周六尚未就此次袭击表态。本轮袭击发生在本周沙特主导的联军对也门胡塞武装发动大规模攻势之后。
袭击发生后,特朗普在白宫外对记者表示,美国正在评估是否加入沙特对胡塞武装的打击:"我们可能会。我们会研究一下。我们刚得知这次袭击,会很快做决定。"美国驻沙特使团发布安全提醒,强烈建议美国公民避开该机场及周边地区。此前沙特王储曾在9月寻求美国直接军事介入,被美方婉拒,仅提供情报与目标协助。(综合美联社、路透社与沙特民航总局消息)
Missile Hits Riyadh Airport Terminal, Many Wounded; Trump Says U.S. May Join Strikes on Houthis
King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh came under missile attack again on Saturday (October 10). Two regional officials told the Associated Press that a missile struck the complex housing Terminals 3 and 4 for domestic flights, wounding many; the airport was evacuated and more than a dozen ambulances rushed to the scene. Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority confirmed "a number of injuries" and announced a temporary suspension of flight operations; flight tracker FlightAware said at least 225 flights had been cancelled at the airport over the past 24 hours.
It was the third attack on the airport this week. Thursday's (October 8) strike killed three Saudi citizens, including an airline pilot; the Houthis claimed responsibility for earlier attacks this week but had no immediate statement on Saturday's strike. The latest attack came in the week since a Saudi-led coalition launched a major offensive against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
After the attack, President Trump told reporters outside the White House that the United States is evaluating whether to join Saudi strikes against the Houthis: "We may. We're going to look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so we'll make a decision. We move very quickly." The U.S. mission in Saudi Arabia issued a security alert strongly urging American citizens to avoid the airport and surrounding areas. Saudi Arabia's crown prince had sought direct U.S. military intervention in September and was rebuffed, with Washington offering only intelligence and targeting assistance.
