Can an enemy counterattack when hits come from a statue or other non-attack effect?

The rulebook text covers this directly, and forum answers apply it the same way.

No. If hits or modifiers are applied by a game effect other than an attack, such as pushing over a statue, the group cannot counterattack; answer No at the prompt. Cards that say the enemy ignores counterattacks, like Stinging Fly, mean it does not counterattack at all and is not exhausted.
