A number of videos have emerged online, purportedly showing heavy gunfire in close proximity to the royal palace in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh. The disturbance might have been caused by a drone.
Footage, supposedly taken in central Riyadh, shows military or emergency vehicles with their lights flashing. Gunfire can be heard in the background. RT is trying to independently verify the authenticity of the reports at the moment.
Some reports indicate that the shooting erupted when the palace guards targeted a small drone which came too close to the king’s residence.

No coup attempt in Riyadh. A toy drone/plane got too close too the King’s palace and was shot down. #SaudiArabia #Riyadh
