Summary

The Yemen-based Houthi movement is developing its own ballistic missile using components sourced from China, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing an unpublished Conflict Armament Research report. The missile would be modeled on Iran's Kheibar Shekan and could have a range of 1,200 miles, compared to the Iranian version's roughly 900 miles, extending potential reach to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE and Israel.
