Despite relentless air efforts and fighting on the ground, conflict in Yemen has largely stalled. Throughout the conflict since 2015, the Ansarullah movement has carried out rapid drone strikes against the Saudis and launched missiles at airports, oil facilities and military installations inside the kingdom. Since then, the Saudi military coalition has been bombing civilian facilities and critical infrastructure to supply the population, with millions of people in Yemen suffering from acute hunger, among other things, as a result of the blockade imposed by the Saudis on Yemenis.
