http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39633701The Saudi-led military coalition fighting in Yemen said one of its helicopters crashed in eastern Yemen on Tuesday, killing 12 Saudi officers in one of the deadliest incidents for the kingdom's troops since the war began more than two years ago.
The Black Hawk helicopter crashed in the eastern province of Marib, the coalition said, adding that it is investigating the circumstances. The incident happened as U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis arrived in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, to discuss the Yemen war with Saudi leaders.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen ... SKBN17K225A military helicopter crash in Yemen that killed 12 Saudi soldiers was reportedly caused by friendly fire.
The Black Hawk crashed in Marib Province, east of the capital Sanaa.
The Yemen defence ministry's news website said the helicopter had "misread" the air defence system, which "resulted in the destruction of the aircraft before it landed".
But Saudi Arabia says it is too early to tell what caused the crash and it is still investigating.
