Dr Andreas Krieg of King's College London on the 19 December missile launch by the Houthis against the Saudi capital Riyadh. "I think the Houthis wanted to make a statement that they are still up and running and that they are still fighting, despite the fact that in recent days and weeks there have been allegations that the Houthis have been weakened by the split with [late ex-Yemeni President] Ali Abdullah Saleh and that they possibly would not be able to shoot missiles further into Saudi territory - but they proved otherwise," Andreas Krieg, a defence analyst, told Al Jazeera.
