It was flying over Duekoue, Ivory Coast, at the time, the U.N. said.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the U.N. condemned the action as a war crime and urged authorities to identify those responsible.<\/p>\n<p>The U.N. is serving in a peacekeeper role in the nation, which has been wracked by violence and is sliding toward civil war following a November election. The international community has widely recognized Alassane Ouattara as the winner and legitimate leader of the west African nation, but President Laurent Gbagbo has refused to cede power, with the stalemate resulting in uncertainty and bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican Forces of Cote d&#8217;Ivoire back Ouattara.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, at least 25 people were killed in what the U.N. condemned as a shocking escalation in violence. France, Ivory Coast&#8217;s former colonial rule, called it a &#8220;deliberate massacre of civilians&#8221; and called on the U.N. Security Council to adopt sanctions against Gbagbo and his circle, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero.<\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintinclude--><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n<!-- \/cnn_strybtmcntnt --><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/cnn_strycntnt --><!-- \/cnn_strycntntrgt --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/rss.cnn.com\/~r\/rss\/edition_africa\/~3\/4DUF0QxPJm8\/index.html\" title=\"U.N. helicopter shot at over Ivory Coast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.N. helicopter shot at over Ivory Coast<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> STORY HIGHLIGHTS The shots did not reach the helicopter, the U.N. says It condemned the action as a war crime (CNN) &#8212; A United Nations helicopter was shot at Monday while on a reconnaissance flight over Ivory Coast, the U.N. said Tuesday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-347553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-business"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
