RIYADH, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Saudi-led coalition announced on Tuesday a military Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Yemen, killing 12 military personnel onboard, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The coalition highlighted that the helicopter was carrying out its missions when it fell down in Marib Governorate in Yemen. All 12 officers are Saudis.
An investigation was launched, the report said.
Saudi air force has been launching airstrikes on Yemen, mainly Houthi dominated areas, since March 2015, while the coalition announced this week that the war will continue until all Yemen's territories are under the control of Yemeni elected government.
