Houthi Movement

group

The Houthi Movement, also known as Ansar Allah, is a political and armed group based in Yemen. It emerged in the 1990s, initially as a response to perceived marginalization of the Zaidi Shia community in Yemen. Over the years, the Houthis have grown in influence, especially during the Yemeni Civil War that began in 2014. They have been involved in various military engagements, including cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia. The group is known for its use of missiles and drones in conflict, claiming to target military and strategic sites, often in response to perceived aggressions against Yemen.
