报道胡塞武装声称发动袭击后，利雅得上空烟雾弥漫，官员保持沉默文字 2026年9月20日 UTC 01:32观看文字实录0:11Air raid sirens sounded over Riyadh for the first time in this war.0:16For hours, the Saudi capital and the nearby city of Al-Kharj were under warnings of0:20a hostile aerial threat.0:22Residents were told to stay indoors.0:24The first such instruction since fighting with the Iran-backed Houthi militia in0:28neighboring Yemen intensified.0:29The Saudi civil defense issued an all-clear at 0042 UTC on 19th of September, but by0:35then explosions had been reported in the capital and two blasts were heard in0:39central Riyadh.0:40Then, on that same Saturday, flames and a massive column of black smoke rose from0:45the airport's fuel storage depot near King Khalid International Airport.0:49The question now is whether the Saudi state will formally attribute that fire to the0:52Houthis and whether the strikes on the capital will continue.0:55The warnings came in two waves.0:57A reported missile threat set off sirens just before midnight.1:00Then the all-clear at 0042.1:03Hours later, the depot was burning.1:05Some reports described these as the first air raid sirens over Riyadh since the1:09escalation.1:10Others said the alerts were issued twice.1:12Viral videos of the plume spread widely, even as official channels stayed quiet1:17about the cause.1:18The airport faced flight cancellations and extended delays.1:21Flightradar 24 flagged major problems, though one report said the airport remained1:25operational.1:26No official count of affected flights has been published, and no damage assessment1:30or casualty figure has been released.1:32The all-clear and the fire are confirmed, the explosions are reported.1:36The Houthi claims and the Saudi missile statement are not settled.1:39The cause of the fire remains officially unidentified.1:42Riyadh and Al-Harj sit at the heart of the alert zone, with the airport just north1:46of the capital.1:47The attacks trace back across the Red Sea to the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the choke1:52point the Houthis seized along with Yemen's entire Red Sea coast.1:56This is the war arriving at the Saudi capital and its fuel infrastructure for the1:59first time in this escalation.2:01That statement from the Saudi Defense Ministry directly contradicts other accounts,2:05which said authorities never identified the source of the threat or confirmed any2:09interception.2:10Neither position is reconciled.2:12The Houthis said they fired ballistic missiles and drones at Riyadh in retaliation2:16for what they called hundreds of recent Saudi airstrikes across Yemen, 300 this2:20week, including 26 strikes on the southwestern province of Taiz in 24 hours,2:25announced by their military spokesperson, Yahya Saria.2:29They claimed five ballistic missiles had been aimed at the capital, that their2:33forces struck sessive sites, and that the goal is to shut down Saudi oil production2:37and exports.2:38They also said attacks stretched across eight provinces, though one report put the2:42figure at nine, and that the residents of the Saudi Crown Prince had been targeted.2:46No independent source has confirmed any of it.2:48The five-missile figure is not corroborated in the reporting reviewed.2:52The escalation behind these claims has been building for months.2:55In July, the Houthis claimed drone strikes on crude oil transport facilities linking2:59eastern Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.3:03In August, they said they struck a Saudi Aramco facility and a sensitive site near3:07Najran.3:08A reported campaign crippled a refinery and disrupted Red Sea shipping.3:12None of that has been independently confirmed.3:14The renewed fighting has already driven at least 125,000 Yemenis from their homes.3:20More than 40 people were killed in 24 hours of clashes near the Bab al-Mandab Strait3:25as government forces and the Houthis fought for control of rugged high ground.3:29In July, the Houthis declared a maritime embargo on Saudi Arabia.3:33The first alerts over Riyadh came after that.3:36There were also reports of a temporary airspace closure over the capital, and3:40footage suggesting at least one missile bypassed a Patriot interceptor near airbases3:44hosting Saudi and US forces.3:46Saudi strikes on Yemen have been intensifying as well.3:50The Houthis accused Saudi warplanes of launching 40 strikes in 24 hours on the 16th3:54September and 54 on the 14th September.3:57On 14 September, an attack on Qami Smusheit, Abha and Taif wounded 13 civilians,4:04the Saudi-led coalition said.4:06Five people were reported killed as the sides traded attacks on 17th of September.4:11Saudi authorities have not confirmed the cause of the fire or attributed it to the4:15Houthis.4:16The two accounts of what officials said remain unreconciled, one saying a missile4:20was destroyed, the other saying no interception was confirmed.4:23No official count of disrupted flights has been published.4:26Whether further strikes will follow is not known.4:29What is certain is the fire and the disruption it caused and that no official4:32attribution has been released.阅读文章事件时间线HeyDex短视频
