RIYADH: An explosion damaged several cars in a residential area on Monday, SPA reported, an incident the Daesh terrorist group said was caused by a bomb one of its members had affixed to a vehicle.
There were no injuries.
A police spokesman said a citizen had reported at 8:40 a.m. that his car had been damaged by a blast while parked in front of his house in Al-Aziziya district, according to SPA. There were no injuries. Some nearby vehicles also were damaged.
The spokesman said that bomb experts are still investigating the case.
In a statement released on the Telegram social messaging platform, Daesh’s Amaq news agency said the blast was caused by a “sticky bomb” attached to the vehicle of a member of the Saudi armed forces, the SITE monitoring service reported.
The Kingdom in 2014 declared Daesh a terrorist organization and has detained hundreds of its supporters. The group, which controls territory in Iraq and Syria, has staged a series of attacks in the country.
