Houthis claim to have fired HYPERSONIC ballistic missile at Israel

Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed to have unleashed a hypersonic ballistic missile to strike central for the first time.

In what marks a major escalation from the Iran-backed militia, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said the terrifying missile was launched 2,040km (1,270 miles) in just 11-and-a-half minutes.

Although Israel said the missile didn't strike its target and no casualties were reported, Prime Minister said Israel would inflict a 'heavy price' on the Houthis, who control northern Yemen.
