The Houthis have been attacking the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with drones and missiles since mid-November. So far 73 ships have been attacked.

In such a situation, deadlock has been created in these areas. However, the United States and the United Kingdom are conducting counter-operations against Yemen’s Houthis to keep shipping normal.

Earlier the group had successfully test-fired hypersonic missiles. Russian state media RIA reported this information citing a military source.

The Houthi missile force has successfully tested a missile that can travel 8 times faster than sound, the source said.

The source also said the missile could be used by the Iran-backed group to conduct operations in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
