A Saudi prince was killed Sunday (5 November) when his helicopter crashed near the southern border of the kingdom with war-torn Yemen, state television said.
The Al-Ekhbariya news channel announced the death of Prince Mansour bin Muqrin, deputy governor of the province Asir.
He said the helicopter had several officials on board, and didn't reveal the cause of the crash.
The clash comes after Saudi Arabia on Saturday has caught and destroyed a ballistic missile near Riyadh International Airport after being fired by Yemen, in a escalation of the kingdom's war against Iran-backed Huth rebels.
