Cruise missile row rocks Ukraine
Breaking news graphic
Ukrainian arms dealers smuggled 18 nuclear-capable cruise missiles to Iran and China in 1999-2001, Ukraine's prosecutor-general has said.
The KH-55 missiles - also known as X-55s - have a range of 3,000km (1,860 miles), the UK's Financial Times newspaper reports.
Official Ukrainian state bodies were not involved in the sales, the prosecutor-general's office said.
It added that the missiles were not exported with nuclear warheads.

Als het waar zou zijn, dan heeft Iran een flink hoeveelheid vuurkracht om te gebruiken bij een aanval door Israel of de VS.
