Two pilots from the United Arab Emirates have been k!lled after their fighter jet crashed while taking part in Saudi-led coalition airstr!kes in Yemen. The jet reportedly came down as a result of a technical fault near the southern city of Aden.

Hani Al-Yazidi, director of the Buraiqa district in northern Aden, said the local authorities had found the wreckage of a Mirage fighter plane after it crashed into a mountain, Reuters reported.

The Saudi state news agency SPA stated that a “technical fault” was responsible for the crash. Earlier, the authorities from the United Arab Emirates had confirmed that one of its planes was “missing.”
