The person who first alerted me to the crash believed it to have occurred in Dubai but, as you say, it might have been elsewhere in the UAE.
However, I've been trawling the net for news articles and have now come across an article on Janes.com which suggests this accident occured a month earlier! Quite a few other news sites also refer to September rather than October........!?
UAE helo lost in training accident

16 September 2013
A United Arab Emirates (UAE) military helicopter crashed during a training mission on 16 September, killing one crewmember.
The UAE Armed Forces Command announced the loss on 17 September but has released no further details.
All three branches of the UAE Armed Forces operate helicopters. The United Arab Emirates Air Force & Air Defence fields utility and transport types, such as the Boeing CH-47 Chinook and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk; the army operates attack platforms, such as the Boeing AH-64 Apache; and the navy flies anti-submarine and anti-surface vessel warfare types, such as the Eurocopter SA 316A Alouette III and AS 532 Super Puma.
