Saudi Arabia Cites Technical Fault After Houthis Claim Helicopter Shootdown Near Yemen Border
Saudi Arabia has confirmed that an AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed in the Najran region, killing two military officers, just hours after Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed to have shot down a Saudi aircraft near the border. On October 18, Saudi-led coalition spokesperson Major General Turki Al-Maliki attributed the fatal crash to a technical malfunction. However, the Houthis claimed on October 17 that their forces had targeted a Saudi helicopter while it was conducting what they described as hostile operations near the Yemen-Saudi Arabia border.
