Yemen's Houthis Test Hypersonic Missile, Raising Stakes in Red Sea Crisis

Yemen's Houthi rebels claim to possess a new hypersonic missile, potentially escalating their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding areas, as well as increasing pressure on Israel. The claim, reported by Russia's state media, comes amid indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. in Oman and raises concerns about the Houthis' capabilities and Iran's involvement in arming them. The hypersonic missile, if confirmed, could pose challenges to air defense systems and potentially change the dynamics of the conflict in the region.
