Riyadh: Two Saudi officers were killed after an Apache helicopter crashed in Yemen, the Arab coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen announced.
Flight Lieutenant Ayman Al-Fifi and Flying Officer Mohammad Al-Hassan were killed when their Apache helicopter crashed in the city of Maareb, the command said in a statement.
It said the helicopter, on an operation inside the Yemeni territories, crashed due to bad weather conditions, reported Arabic daily Al-Bayan.
Earlier Monday, a rebel spokesman said the rebels had fired a ballistic missile at a military camp in Jizan, causing casualties and material damage.
Yemeni military sources, meanwhile, reported heavy fighting since Thursday on the Yemeni side of the border between loyalist forces and rebels.
