Attack Helicopter: Attack and Yemeni City

attack helicopter: Abdiker said it's still unclear who carried out the attack, according to CBC. He said various survivors provided conflicting messages about whether the attack came from a military vessel or an attack helicopter that had taken off from the vessel. About 75 men and 15 women survived the attack, according to the UN's Mohammed Abdiker, emergencies director at the International Organization for Migration in Geneva. He said the attack at around 3 a.m. was totally unacceptable and that responsible combatants should have checked who was aboard the boat before firing on it. The coalition has been heavily bombarding the nearby coast around the Yemeni city of Hodeida, and it accuses the rebels, known as Houthis, of smuggling weapons into the port in small boats.
