Chinese military technology identified in Yemen conflict

Yemen conflict China military technology Saudi Arabia Ansar Allah Dongfeng-15A

Observers have identified weapons and components with links to China being used by both sides in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthi movement.

Images circulated in September reportedly show the remains of a Chinese-made Dongfeng-15A (DF-15A) short-range ballistic missile in Yemen, which Saudi Arabia is alleged to have used against the Iranian-backed group.

Additionally, a report from Conflict Armament Research (CAR) identified attempts by Ansar Allah to procure Chinese components. This finding was based on information from four containers seized in July by the internationally recognized government of Yemen. These components reportedly suggest an attempt by the group to develop their own version of the Iranian Kheibar Shekan medium-range ballistic missile.

While Chinese government officials deny efforts to fuel Middle East conflicts, analysts suggest these developments highlight the reach of Beijing's global influence.
