The latest western aggression came one day after Israeli warplanes launched massive airstrikes on Sanaa and the coastal province of Hodeidah in retaliation for continued drone and hypersonic missile attacks by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Wait there are hypersonic missiles in Yemen?

The Houthis claim so, at least. Iran has them (home-grown and possibly some bought from Russia) so it's certainly not implausible for the Hoithis to get their hands on some too

Yemen has a missile program that goes back decades and originally developed with the help of the USSR.

Empire shoots all kinds of weapons at the poor and exploitable. There might be zio nukes in Yemen soon (like Syria).
