A coalition led by Saudi Arabia announced that a reconnaissance helicopter in the Najran region in the southwest of the country crashed due to a technical malfunction, and both crew members were killed.

In a statement by Turki Al-Maliki, the spokesman of the coalition, it said the crash occurred in an area under the Saudi Ministry of National Guard.

Following the crash of the helicopter, Kuwait’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, extended condolences to Saudi Arabia and the families of the two officers killed.

However, Yahya Saree, a military spokesman for the Houthis, on Saturday on X claimed that the group shot down a Saudi Apache helicopter near Najran.

The Najran region has repeatedly been targeted by Houthi attacks in recent weeks, and the war in Yemen has turned into a new front in the war between the United States and Israel and the Islamic Republic.
