(CNSNews.com) – Allegations of illicit weapons collaboration between North Korea and the Assad regime, if true, “would be a very grave, grave concern” to the United States, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Thursday.
She was responding to claims that unnamed countries have intercepted on two occasions in the past six months shipments from North Korea to a Syrian government agency long responsible for chemical weapons production.

Reuters reported this week that a record of the intercepts is contained in a new report by independent experts, submitted this month to the U.N. Security Council.
