A Saudi-led coalition AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed in Najran, killing two National Guard officers. The cause is unconfirmed; the coalition has not attributed it to hostile fire, but the location near the Yemen border raises the possibility of combat-related loss. This is a notable operational loss for the coalition amid ongoing Yemen conflict dynamics.
