RIYADH, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday that a military jet, a Hawk, crashed, killing all its crew members.

An official source from the Ministry of Defence said in a statement on Saudi Press Agency that a Saudi Royal Air Force jet crashed at noon on Monday and investigation was launched.

The case was the second one in recent months.

It was reported in July that a tornado fighter of the Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen crashed in Assir region when it returned from a training mission due to a technical fault. The pilots escaped unhurt.
