Gunfire Reported Near Saudi Palace, King Evacuated

Conflicting reports are coming in of gunfire, and possibly even explosions near the palace of King Salman of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, on Saturday night.

The Saudi king was reportedly evacuated to a nearby military bunker.

Pro-Saudi regime sources are claiming a drone flew near the palace and was shot at, and are claiming that anti-Saudi and opposition groups are spreading fake news and trying to spin the event into a coup attempt, which they say didn't happen.
