Two people died when a Saudi Arabian reconnaissance helicopter crashed near the border with war-torn Yemen, the first fatalities of their kind reported by the kingdom since the latest flare-up in its battle against Houthi rebels.The incident came as missiles were intercepted elsewhere in the country and air-raid alerts sounded overnight in Riyadh, where observers are waiting for the main airport to reopen after it was shuttered about a week ago following a wave of deadly attacks.
