North Korea has been sending equipment to Syria that could be used in chemical weapons manufacturing, US media report, citing findings by UN experts.

The New York Times reported an as‑yet‑unreleased UN report also says Pyongyang's missile specialists have been seen at Syrian weapon‑making facilities.

The allegations came after new reports of chlorine gas being used by Syrian forces, which the government denies.

North Korea is under international sanctions over its nuclear programme.
