The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is

rebels set a ship ablaze in the Gulf of Aden on Monday. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Local Yemeni media reported a possible ballistic missile launch from territory controlled by the Iran-backed terror group.
Shortly after, a ship in the Gulf of Aden some 235 kilometers (150 miles) off the coast of Aden reported seeing "a splash and smoke" in the distance, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center reported.
The UKMTO described the incident as an attack and urged ships in the area to exercise caution, as did the private security firm Ambrey.
Shortly after, the UKMTO said "a vessel has been hit by an unknown projectile." It added: "The vessel is reported to be on fire." Ambrey later acknowledged the strike as well, which mirrored an attack on September 23 that missed a ship.
The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack. However,

it can take hours or even days before the rebels claim their assaults.
The Houthis have fired some 130 missiles and more than 150 explosive-laden drones at Israel since the Hamas

s in Yemen, including one that killed the Houthis’ prime minister and other brass hats.
Alongside the attacks on Israel, the Houthis have attacked commercial shipping in the Red Sea, through which $1 trillion of goods usually passes a year.
Though the Houthis originally claimed to only target ships with ties to Israel, monitors said that was not the case. In July, the Houthis said they would attack all vessels that do business with Israel, as they renewed their attacks, sinking two ships.
In May, the US announced a surprise deal with the Houthis in which it agreed to stop a bombing campaign against them in return for an end to shipping attacks on US vessels. The deal did not stop attacks on Israel.
Two injured, one seriously, in Houthi ship attack as crew rescued from burning vessel
[IsraelTimes] Two sailors have been injured in a Houthi missile strike on a Dutch-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden, with the crew evacuated by helicopter from the burning vessel, the ship’s owner says.
Spliethoff describes yesterday’s strike as “inflicting substantial damage” to the Minervagracht.
A European naval force operating in the region, known as Operation Aspides, says the Minervagracht “is on fire and adrift” after the crew’s rescue
It identifies the ship’s crew as coming from the Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka and Ukraine, with one wounded and stable and another severely wounded and airlifted to Djibouti for medical care.
The French military’s Maritime Information, Cooperation and Awareness Center identified the Houthis as carrying out the attack.
The Iran-backed rebel group has yet to comment on the attack, which took place some distance from the Red Sea, where most of its strikes have occurred.
The US Navy-overseen Joint Maritime Information Center says the Minervagracht had “no Israeli affiliations.”
The last recorded attack on a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Aden before the Minervagracht came in August 2024.
