跟进:胡塞周一再射三枚弹道导弹均被沙特拦截 利雅得机场关停延长至至少10月17日

沙特军方周一(10月12日)表示,沙特防空部队当天拦截并摧毁了也门胡塞武装发射的三枚弹道导弹:一枚在首都利雅得上空被拦截,另两枚在沙特西南部城市海米斯穆谢特(Khamis Mushait)上空被摧毁。胡塞武装认领了这轮袭击,称其目标是利雅得哈立德国王国际机场和一处军事基地,并再次警告国际航空公司不要运营飞往沙特机场的航班。
这是本站持续跟进的利雅得机场遇袭事件的最新进展。沙特民航总局周一早些时候宣布,哈立德国王国际机场将继续关闭,以完成核查机场设施安全与运营就绪状态所需的程序,数百个航班已被取消;航行通告(NOTAM)显示,该机场至少关停至10月17日。本站此前已报道,该机场自周六(10日)遭袭后一直停运,周一约六成航班取消,汉莎航空、法航-荷航集团等已宣布各自的停飞安排。
伤亡方面,据 CNN 统计,过去一周胡塞武装对沙特的系列袭击已造成至少20人死亡、数百人受伤。其中周六对利雅得机场的袭击造成至少13人死亡、300多人受伤,是十多年来沙特境内最致命的一次袭击;周日机场再遭袭击,一名巴基斯坦籍居民死亡、11人受伤。
背景上,胡塞武装与沙特支持的也门政府军交战多年,沙特领导的联军正对胡塞目标发动空袭——本站此前报道,联军周日已空袭也门萨那机场作为报复。美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)已提醒美国航司在飞越沙特部分空域时保持谨慎。截至发稿,利雅得机场何时重开仍取决于安全核查结果,胡塞方面则威胁继续袭击沙特境内的机场。(综合 CNN、路透社报道)
Follow-Up: Saudi Arabia Intercepts Three Houthi Ballistic Missiles on Monday; Riyadh Airport Closure Extended to at Least Oct. 17
Saudi Arabia's military said on Monday (Oct. 12) that its air defenses intercepted and destroyed three ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi movement: one was intercepted over the capital, Riyadh, and two others were destroyed over the southwestern city of Khamis Mushait. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the salvo, saying they had targeted Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and a military base, and renewed their warnings to international airlines against operating flights to Saudi airports.
This is the latest development in the Riyadh airport attacks that GSM has been following. Earlier on Monday, Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation announced that King Khalid International Airport would remain closed so that procedures to verify the safety and operational readiness of the airport's facilities could be completed, with several hundred flights cancelled; a notice to air missions (NOTAM) indicates the airport will remain shut until at least October 17. GSM previously reported that the airport has been closed since it was struck on Saturday (Oct. 10), that some 60% of Monday's flights were cancelled, and that carriers including Lufthansa and Air France-KLM had announced suspensions.
On casualties, CNN put the toll from the past week's series of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia at at least 20 people killed and hundreds wounded. Saturday's strike on the airport killed at least 13 people and wounded more than 300, the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in more than a decade; a further attack on Sunday killed a Pakistani resident and wounded 11 others.
The Houthis have fought the Saudi-backed Yemeni government for years, and the Saudi-led coalition is carrying out airstrikes against Houthi targets — GSM reported earlier that the coalition bombed Sanaa's airport on Sunday in retaliation. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has advised American carriers to exercise caution when flying over parts of Saudi airspace. As of publication, when the Riyadh airport will reopen depends on the safety verification, while the Houthis have threatened to keep targeting Saudi airports. (Compiled from CNN and Reuters reports)
