The Houthi rebels in Yemen are reportedly attempting to independently produce the advanced Iranian ballistic missile, the "Kheibar Shekan." According to a report in the American newspaper "The Wall Street Journal," the Houthis have received necessary components for the missile's production from a Chinese supplier. This effort aims to expand their military capabilities and reduce their reliance on external supplies of ready-made missiles.

The Kheibar Shekan missile has a range of approximately 1,900 kilometers and is equipped with maneuverability features designed to challenge air defense systems. If the Houthis succeed in their independent production efforts, it could significantly enhance their long-range launch capabilities.

Such a development could increase the security threat to Israel and other countries in the Middle East.
