Black smoke can be seen rising over Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, which houses foreign missions, two sources told Reuters.
Three people familiar with the matter said a loud blast was heard and flames were seen at the embassy early on Tuesday morning. One of the sources said the fire was minor.
Reuters was not immediately able to confirm the circumstances of the incident.
An embassy spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the Saudi government media office.
