A witness, identified only as Ahmed, told Reuters he was with his family near the mosque when “a quick explosion” happened. He did not know the cause of the blast.
Social media accounts showed video purporting to show the congregation inside the mosque reacting with shock and alarm to the sound of the explosion outside the building.
Saudi security forces surrounded the area and began investigating the incident.
