More suspected Iranian-made weapons have been found in Yemen, the UN says in a report that will be discussed Wednesday (December 12th) by the Security Council, AFP reported.
The report from the office of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says his staff examined two container launch units for anti-tank guided missiles recovered in Yemen by the Arab coalition.
"The secretariat found that they had characteristics of Iranian manufacture," the report said.
The secretariat "also examined a partly disassembled surface-to-air missile" seized by the Arab coalition, it added, "and observed that its features appeared to be consistent with those of an Iranian missile".
A probe into the origin of the weapons continues, it said.
The UN has said in the past that Yemen's Houthis (Ansarallah) have fired Iranian-made missiles at Saudi Arabia. But it said it could not be certain these weapons were supplied by Iran, in what would be a violation of UN resolutions.
