A Yemeni Air Force Antonov An 26 (registration 1177) flying from Sana'a toward the Masila oilfield suffered a technical problem and came down in a desert area of Hadhramaut. The aircraft was damaged, reportedly beyond repair, after a belly landing. Armed tribesmen then seized the crew, and sources differ on how many people were on board.
