That's hell of fireworks, Hope Pakistani soldiers are safe.

The Saudi kingdom is really a fragile one , with huge insecurities.
One cannot know when the situation turns ugly like today.

I hope the king is safe and sound.

Seems like brave Arabs have taken the courage to revolt against the disgraceful puppets

Yikes, if this place collapses it will be bad for all of us.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that (it probably won't).

Wedding ceremony.

#MeToo gone serious it seems

Nothing is confirmed so far, many conflicting rumors coming out. Some say it's a militant attack, some say it's a coup attempt and some even deny any shooting happened!

They should secure the two holy sites immediately so no militants can get into these sites

It looks like a militant attack. A coup can only be led by an completely independent armed force, which also delves in politics from time to time which the Saudi forces do not. They pledge allegiance to the king.

That's not how a coup would take place, it has said to be numerous things:

-Sound of construction
-Fireworks
-Toy drone flew near the area and was shot at

.......
.......

People are reporting fake news for hits on twitter. The situation is normal and calm.

Some sources reporting of a Quadcopter/UAV being shot at above the palace, which is the reason for gunshot sounds. Still not confirmed.
