Saudi coalition aircraft has crashed in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen. Conflicting reports suggest different reasons for the accident.
Saudi’s broadcaster Al Arabiya citing the coalition’s statement says that the warplane crash was an accident due to a technical malfunction. The two pilots survived and were rescued in a special operation, according to the Riyadh-led coalition.
At the same time, the Houthi movement’s agency Saba claims that the fighter was shot down by the rebel’s air defense forces in Saada province, with Houthi’s al-Massirah specifying the type of the fighter as Britain-made Tornado.
