A Saudi AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashes in the Najran region, killing its two crew members. The incident involves a helicopter operated by the Saudi National Guard and is reported to have been destroyed in the crash.
Multiple outlets cite a statement from the Saudi-led coalition describing the cause as a technical malfunction. A spokesperson says the crash occurs in an area under the jurisdiction of the Saudi National Guard Ministry. While reports differ slightly in wording about the phrasing of the cause and the location description, they consistently attribute the crash to a technical fault and confirm two fatalities.
The reporting centres on the coalition’s official account of the incident, without additional details on the malfunction, timing, or any subsequent investigations beyond the initial statement.
