Report: Houthis Developing Ballistic Missiles with Chinese Components

The Houthi rebels in Yemen are developing medium-range ballistic missiles using components from a Chinese supplier and with Iranian assistance, Arutz 7 and The Jerusalem Post reported, citing The Wall Street Journal and a study by Conflict Armament Research.

According to the findings, the Houthis are working to produce a local version of the Iranian Kheibar Shekan missile, with an estimated range of approximately 2,000 kilometers (around 1,200 miles). This range would place targets across both Israel and Saudi Arabia within reach. The findings are based on an examination of two shipments intercepted in July by the Yemeni government containing missile production equipment. Further details have not yet been released.
