A Saudi-led coalition airstrike has hit a Médecins sans Frontières hospital in Yemen, the latest bombing of a civilian target in the seven-month air campaign in the country.
“It could be a mistake, but the fact of the matter is it’s a war crime. There’s no reason to target a hospital. We provided [the coalition] with all of our GPS coordinates about two weeks ago,” he said. At least two staff members were hurt by flying debris, according to Boucenine.
According to the 2009 US Embassy cable leaked by WikiLeaks, Houthis have reportedly established courts and prisons in areas they control. They impose their own laws on local residents, demand protection money, and dispense rough justice by ordering executions. AP's reporter, Ahmad al-Haj argued that the Houthis were winning hearts and minds by providing security in areas long neglected by the Yemeni government (currently ousted) while limiting the arbitrary and abusive power of influential sheikhs. According to the Civic Democratic Foundation, Houthis help resolve conflicts between tribes and reduce the number of revenge killings in areas they control. The US ambassador believed that the reports that explain Houthi role as arbitrating local disputes were more likely than the sinister[unbalanced opinion] suggestions.[79][80]

Whats the range of anti ship missles anyway? If they have lost three ships they must be in a world of hurt. . . .
I know there was a naval blockade against Yemen, maybe the ships were sunk. . .. . .
I wonder if the naval blockade is still there?

It actually doesn't prove that at all.
You can think that of course, but it is not proof they are lying to you.
Actually being there, going to the place they are reporting from and presumably not using green screens a la CNN etc. is proof they went there to report...ergo, there's basic proof they go the extra mile, but no proof they're lying.
You are free to believe what you like, but a belief is just that.
