Houthis attempting to build advanced missiles using Chinese parts: Report

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis are attempting to manufacture advanced medium-range ballistic missiles using components obtained from Chinese suppliers, according to a report cited by The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.

The findings by Conflict Armament Research (CAR), an organization that investigates weapons and their supply chains, indicate that the Houthis have acquired components needed to develop a version of Iran’s Kheibar Shekan precision-guided ballistic missile. The proposed Houthi-made missile could have a range of approximately 1,900 kilometers (1,200 miles).
