The UAE’s official WAM news agency reported on Tuesday evening that the four-blade and twin-turboshaft aircraft went down due to a technical glitch.
The report identified those onboard the helicopter as Major Ali al-Mismari and First Lieutenant Badr al-Murshedah.
Yemeni sources, requesting anonymity, said the helicopter had crashed in the Khabbwa ash Sha’af district of Jawf province, located approximately 110 kilometers (68 miles) north of the capital Sana’a.
