Reuters wrote that the Saudi government's communications ministry and the country's civil aviation organization did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

On the other hand, three witnesses told AFP that passengers were evacuated from Riyadh's international airport on Saturday.

One witness said he heard an explosion while waiting to board the plane, but two other witnesses were unable to confirm what caused the airport to be evacuated.

🔸King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, an hour ago, by publishing information, asked passengers to contact the relevant airline and confirm their flight status before leaving for the airport. Information posted on the airport's official account on the X social network reads: "Please contact your airline directly and confirm your flight status before leaving for the airport."
