Saudi-led warplane coalition warplane crashes in Yemen

SANAA: A warplane belonging to the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen has crashed in the northern province of al-Jawf, officials said. A coalition spokesman confirmed that a Saudi Tornado fighter jet had “fallen” while carrying out a support mission near Yemeni army units, the BBC reported citing a leading Saudi media outlet. Yemen’s Houthi rebels said they shot down the plane on Friday night. The Saudi-led coalition has been battling Yemen’s rebel Houthi movement since 2015. It intervened after the Houthis ousted the internationally-recognized government from power in the capital Sanaa. (IANS)
