TEHRAN, October 15 -Two Royal Saudi Air Force pilots have lost their lives when their training jet crashed during a routine mission in the kingdom’s northwestern region of Tabuk.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The British-made and single-engine BAE Systems Hawk aircraft was on a routine operational training mission on Monday when it suffered the mishap 100 kilometers away from the city of Tabuk and close to the border with Jordan, online Arabic-language newspaper Sabq reported.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known and the air force has launched a probe to determine it.
On September 14, a Saudi Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter crashed in Yemen’s eastern province of Mahra.
An official of Provincial Supreme Security Committee, who asked to remain anonymous, said, "The Saudi helicopter crashed while conducting a reconnaissance mission over Tanhala Mountains."
He confirmed that the Saudi pilot and his assistant died as a result of the crash.
Saudi media outlets later identified the pair as Captain Saud bin Nasser bin Jaris and First Lieutenant Ahmed bin Abdulaziz al-Dabian.
