I think I need to become far more informed about these matters as this is rather surprising to read.

I’ve been watching Russia toddle about with their “second best in the world” equipment, demonstrating how difficult it can be. And now I’m reading that Houthi rebels have missiles that can make it outside some meaningful definition of “atmosphere”?

Maybe I’m failing to understand how modern military rocketry works.

Houthis are Iranian proxy, so they likely got Iranian missiles (among other weapons).

AnsarAllah are allies of Iran, not proxies. They make decisions on their own and are the natives of North Yemen, organizing politically for decades now.

I think there's no clear split between "proxy" and "ally".

I agree that they make their own decisions, but from the POV of Iran they're rather proxy against the Saudis.
