UNITED NATIONS — A military coalition led by Saudi Arabia that is fighting in Yemen was most likely responsible for a fatal attack in March on a boat packed with migrants fleeing the war zone, a United Nations panel has concluded.
Most of the passengers aboard the vessel were believed to be Somalis who had been staying in Yemen and were trying to reach Sudan.
The attack, which killed more than 40 people, violated numerous international humanitarian laws, the panel’s report said.
“The Saudi Arabia-led coalition forces are the only parties to the conflict that have the capability to operate armed utility helicopters in the area,” it added.
