Two German diplomats have survived an attack on their car by unknown gunmen during a visit to Saudi Arabia, the state news agency (SPA) reports.
Security officials were investigating the incident, which took place in the town of Awamiya in the region of Qatif on Monday evening, a police spokesman told SPA.
“The car was hit but its two occupants, German diplomats, escaped unharmed with the help of a Saudi citizen,” the agency quoted the spokesman as saying.
A German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman also confirmed the incident.
“I can confirm that there was an incident during a drive out in the country. The car was shot at and it caught fire. There were no injuries. The embassy in Riyadh has launched an investigation,” the unnamed spokeswoman said.
