White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby denied reports that Houthi rebels affiliated with the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen have hypersonic weapons.
“This information is not true. Kirby stated that there is absolutely no evidence that the Houthis have hypersonic weapons.
Before this, a source close to Ansarullah said reported RIA Novosti said the Houthis tested a hypersonic missile with “high lethality” and were preparing to include such missiles in their arsenal.
According to him, the Houthis plan to use the missile, which can reach a speed of 10 thousand km per hour, in attacks in the Red Sea and against targets in Israel.
