UN Imposes Arms Embargo on Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement
Russia abstained from voting but did not veto the resolution, the first formal action taken by the council since a Saudi-led coalition launched an air campaign against Yemen on March 26.
 
Drafted by the Gulf countries and Jordan, the resolution imposes sanctions on the Houthi leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, and a key ally.
 
The Saudi-led coalition began on March 26 air strikes against Yemen, killing or wounding hundreds of civilians and causing much destruction across the state.
