More than 40 people including women and children have been shot dead aboard a boat carrying Somali refugees in the Red Sea off war-torn Yemen, officials said on Friday. The refugees were hit by light weapons fire in waters off rebel-held Hodeida but the boat managed to dock in the city's port, an official there said. The International Organization for Migration, which has operations in Yemen, said 42 bodies had been recovered.
The rivalry between the two primary backers of the Syrian government is becoming increasingly palpable, according to Syrian officials and a Russian analyst. Iran is proud to have intervened early on in Syria's six-year war, bolstering the Assad regime with men, weapons, and economic aid.
