The United Arab Emirates has said that one of its warplanes taking part in a fight against Houthi rebels in Yemen is missing.
The country’s official news agency, WAM, announced the disappearance without giving further details.
In support of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, the Saudi-led coalition of which UAE is a part has been carrying out air strikes since March 2015.
Some 6,000 people have been killed in the Yemen conflict.
This is the first known loss of an Emirati jet reported in the conflict.
Officials have not yet announced the type of jet lost, or whether any pilots were harmed.
The UAE Air Force operates both F-16 and Mirage 2000 fighter jets.
In December, a Bahraini F-16 crashed in Saudi Arabia due to a “technical error”, while in May a Moroccan warplane came down over Yemen.
Both jets were taking part in the Yemen campaign, which has the code name “Operation Restoring Hope”.
The UN has criticised both the Saudi-led campaign and the Houthis for causing civilian casualties.
