也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装周一表示，他们对沙特阿拉伯的能源、机场和军事基础设施发动了多次袭击，目标包括亚南布的一家阿美设施、沙伊巴油田、利雅得的哈立德国王国际机场以及阿布哈机场，据路透社报道。沙特阿拉伯尚未回应胡塞武装的声明。在袭击持续之际，沙特阿拉伯将其旗舰投资会议推迟至2027年，这对该王国将自身定位为全球商业中心、吸引外资为其数万亿美元经济转型提供资金的努力造成了挫折。
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis said on Monday they carried out multiple attacks targeting Saudi Arabia’s energy, airport and military infrastructure, including an Aramco facility in Yanbu, the Shaybah oilfield, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha airport, according to a Reuters report. Saudi Arabia has not yet responded to the Houthi claims. Amid the continuing attacks, Saudi Arabia has postponed its flagship investment conference until 2027, dealing a setback to the kingdom’s efforts to position itself as a global business hub and attract foreign capital to fund its multitrillion-dollar economic transformation.

The postponement comes at a particularly challenging time for the kingdom, as the ongoing war puts additional strain on its economy and complicates efforts to secure the foreign capital needed to support its ambitious economic transformation plans.
