Two crew members are killed when a Saudi-led coalition helicopter crashes in Najran near the Yemen border

The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the deaths of both crew members after the aircraft went down in Najran province. The crash comes as clashes between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed forces reignite Yemen's civil war, which had been on hold for four years under a ceasefire. Hostilities along the frontier are intensifying. No cause for the crash has been given.

The Houthis' health ministry claims a Saudi airstrike in Saada killed at least nine people, including five children.
