The Ansar Allah movement used artillery equipment, Rajoum Quadcopters and Mi-17 helicopters in the military exercise.
The Ansar Allah movement’s military maneuvers are in response to escalating tensions and threats from the Saudi-led coalition against Yemen, and they come following the suspension of peace negotiations with Saudi Arabia.
According to local sources in capital Sana’a, the Saudi authorities did not agree with Ansar Allah’s proposals to pay government employees’ salaries from Yemen’s oil and gas revenues; therefore, the movement’s leaders ordered a halt to talks with negotiators from Riyadh.
