UN chief Ban Ki-moon ordered UN and French helicopters to silence heavy weapons used by Gbabgo and also damaged the presidential residence. Ban said that UN headquarters in Ivory Coast, Ouattara's base, and two civilian districts were hit by machine gun, sniper, and RPG fire in recent days which led him to authorize all necessary means to suppress the use of the heavy weapons by Gbabgo's troops. A spokesman for Gbabgo said that "UN and French helicopters continue to fire at President Gbabgo's residence which has been partially destroyed."
