Houthi Missile Development Linked to Chinese Components, Report Finds

An investigation by Conflict Armament Research reveals Houthis are using imported Chinese components to develop advanced ballistic missiles modeled on Iran’s Kheibar Shekan design.

The missiles reportedly have a range of up to 1,200 miles, placing both Saudi Arabia and Israel within potential striking distance of the rebel group.

While Beijing asserts it respects UN arms bans, the report notes that Houthi supply chains increasingly rely on Chinese firms for dual-use and military-grade parts.
