The missile is capable of carrying a nuke, but is not.

The British lost a cargo ship to the Houthis the other day. So perhaps they fired the missile as a show of force.

But here’s the thing. If you’re going to rattle your saber, you’d better be damn sure the blade doesn’t fall off.

They’re not actually armed - they inform other important parties prior to launch as to when and where

I think it was supposed to be meant as a warning to Putin

Most likely a nuclear-capable missile with a dummy warhead.
