Two Pilots Killed in Saudi Military Helicopter Crash Near Yemen Border

A military helicopter crashed near the border between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, killing two pilots, the Saudi-led coalition said Sunday.

The helicopter, which belonged to the Saudi-led coalition, crashed in southern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. The coalition consists of a group of countries led by Saudi Arabia that are fighting the Iran-backed Yemeni Houthi movement.

"It crashed and was destroyed in Saudi Arabia’s Najran region as a result of a technical failure," coalition spokesman Turki al-Malki told the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
