Around 20 other Uzbek citizens were at the airport when the incident occurred. None of them was injured, according to preliminary information from the ministry.
Uzbekistan’s embassy in Riyadh is coordinating with Saudi authorities, keeping in contact with Uzbek citizens and providing consular assistance where necessary, the ministry said.
The attack reportedly killed 12 people and injured more than 300. The dead included four Saudi citizens, as well as nationals of the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan.
