UAE military chopper crashes in southern Yemen, kills 2
[Iran Press TV] A Black Hawk helicopter, belonging to the United Arab Emirate (UAE), has crashed in southern Yemen, killing two of its crew, a report says.According to Yemen's official Saba news agency, the chopper crashed in the Amqeel area of Ar Rawdah district in the south-central Yemeni province of Shabwah on Friday afternoon, killing its pilot and co-pilot. The report, citing an unnamed military official, added that four other crew members sustained injuries in the incident. However, the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach... AFP quoted Colonel Turki al-Maliki, a front man for the Saudi-led military coalition engaged in a war in Yemen, as saying that no one was fatally injured in the crash as the pilot made an emergency landing in the area due to "a technical defect while returning from an operation in Yemen."
