Russia Negotiating Transfer of P-800 "Onyx" Missiles to Yemen's Houthis via Iran, Sources Say
Russia is reportedly in talks with Yemen's Houthi rebels, through Iran, about the potential transfer of long-range P-800 "Onyx" anti-ship missiles, according to sources cited by Reuters. While no decision has been made yet, additional meetings are scheduled to take place in Tehran in the coming weeks. The Houthis have previously launched attacks on Western commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea.
In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that if Western nations permit Ukraine to strike targets within Russia, Moscow could respond by supplying long-range weapons to forces willing to retaliate against those Western countries.
