The US administration has taken measures to advance the sale of Penetrator Warheads and precision-guided Paveway missiles to Saudi Arabia, according to a media source.

The Sale, which was objections from some members of Congress and human rights groups, is expected to include over $1 billion worth of the weapons,

The Trump administration notified Congress last month that it wanted to sell about $390 million worth of weapons guidance systems to Saudi Arabia.

The systems, manufactured by Raytheon Co., are designed to convert “dumb” bombs into precision-guided munitions that are supposed to hit targets more accurately.

Amnesty International’s researchers have already found unexploded US-made bombs among the ruins of residential buildings in Yemen.

In a report published on April 20, two child advocacy groups—Save the Children and Watchlist on Children in Armed Conflict— urged the United Nations to put Saudi Arabia on its list of violators of child rights.

Saudi-led Coalition have killed more than 12000 civilians, according to Yemeni Central for Rights and Development.
