DUBAI (Reuters) - The leader of Yemen's Houthis urged all followers on Tuesday to head to war fronts to repel what he called invaders, a reference to an Arab coalition that intervened to overturn the rule of his Iranian-allied group over large parts of the country.

The televised remarks by Abdel-Malek al-Houthi were his first in public since Yemen's government last week dismissed as a "manoeuvre" the Houthis' acceptance of a U.N.-sponsored plan to end Yemen's more than six-month-old civil war.
