Two pilots died in the UAE jet crash in Yemen due to a technical failure, according to local media.
A UAE fighter jet on a mission in Yemen crashed on Monday killing two pilots, the Saudi-led coalition said in a statement, as quoted by the Saudi SPA news agency.

Earlier in the day, Abu Dhabi said the plane, which was taking part in the Saudi-led coalition’s airstrikes in Yemen, went missing.

According to the statement, the jet crashed due to a technical failure.

Since March 2015, the United Arab Emirates, as part of the Saudi-led coalition, has been carrying out airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen at President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi`s request.
