Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition, responded to Houthi claims of shooting down an Apache helicopter in Saudi Arabia's Najran province by releasing an image of an Apache helicopter, stating, "She will soon be deployed to the battlefield. Remember her appearance, so you won't forget." Previously, al-Maliki had announced that a coalition AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed in the Najran region due to a "technical malfunction," killing two crew members.
