A Saudi-led coalition spokesperson, Major General Turki al-Maliki, confirmed that an AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed in the Najran region on October 18. The incident, attributed to a technical failure, resulted in the deaths of both crew members. The aircraft went down within territory managed by the Saudi National Guard. Conversely, Houthi military representative Yahya Saree asserted via social media that the group successfully downed a Saudi Apache helicopter in the same vicinity, alleging the aircraft was conducting offensive operations against their positions. This incident occurs amidst intensified hostilities along the border, reflecting the broader regional tensions involving the Yemen-based militant group and the Saudi-led coalition.
