The al-Najm al-Thaqib (Arabic:النجم الثاقب, "piercing star") is a Yemenimissile system developed by the Houthis and revealed on 26 May 2015.[1] The Houthis claimed that these missiles could violate the blockade imposed by UN resolution 2216 imposed by the Arab Coalition.[3] American reports suggest that this missile was designed to attack nearby targets like Jizan without expending their diminishing stock of longer range missiles.[1] It is somewhat similar to Iranian Oghab missiles,[3] however it lacks fins.[3][2] All civil airports in Jizan, Asir and Najran have been closed due to the risk of missile strikes since July 2015.[1]
Al-Najm al-Thaqib 1 has a range of 45 km and a warhead of 50 kg explosive.[3][2]
Al-Najm al-Thaqib 2edit
Al-Najm al-Thaqib 2 has a range of 75 km and a warhead of 75 kg explosive.[3][2]
