Houthis developing missile with Chinese aid
A new report has revealed that the Houthi movement is working on developing a medium-range ballistic missile, relying on imported components from China, in order to enhance their military capabilities and expand the scope of their potential attacks. The report indicates that the Houthis imported missile materials and components from a Chinese supplier last year, including metal parts, engine components, fins, and raw materials. This suggests their efforts to manufacture missiles locally or to build advanced manufacturing capabilities. It is estimated that the missile they are aiming to develop has a range of approximately 1,930 kilometers, allowing it to reach Israel and potentially target areas within Saudi Arabia. The missile may also carry maneuverable warheads to increase its difficulty of interception. Experts believe this development grants the Houthis greater independence from Iran and heightens their regional threats, especially as components continue to flow from China. Reports confirm that some of these components were intercepted during shipments last year by Yemeni authorities.
