Houthis advance missile program independently of Iran amid Yemen escalation

Amid the US-Israel-Iran war that began in late February, the Houthi militia has escalated its conflict in Yemen, seizing more territory and launching daily attacks on strategic targets in Saudi Arabia. A new report indicates the Houthis are developing their own version of the Iranian medium-range missile 'Cheibar Schekan', suggesting increased indigenous capability. The extent of Iranian support and the missile's operational status remain uncertain.
