Houthis successfully test hypersonic missile in Yemen

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Iranian-backed Shia movement Ansar Allah (Houthis), ruling northern Yemen, has tested a highly lethal hypersonic missile. A military source reported this to RIA Novosti.
As the source explained, such missiles will be produced in Yemen for use during attacks in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as against targets in Israel.
“The group’s missile forces successfully tested a missile that is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 8 (almost ten thousand kilometers per hour) and runs on solid fuel,” the publication quotes the informant.
| Iran sent it to them in pieces that they assembled it on site, no doubt, though whether it’s nearly as scary as described, or whether the description is actually as scary as they think, I leave to those more knowledgeable than I. How fortunate that we’ve got a website full of knowledgeable people here! ;-) |
At the same time, the military in northern Yemen has updated its missiles and drones, modifying explosive warheads to double their destructive power.
| *shrug* They’ve got IRGC officers and specialists living there on site now. That the natives are in any way involved with any upgrading is really not worth discussing. |
As Regnum reported, the British Ministry of Defense decided to send the destroyer HMS Diamond to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The vessel will ensure the safety of navigation in the region.
Three sailors are missing and four were injured after a Houthi attack off the coast of Yemen on the Barbados-flagged bulk carrier True Confidence. After the impacts, the ship caught fire and began to drift. Houthis from the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah confirmed an attack on the ship near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Houthi officials insisted the ship was American.
