Two policemen and two suspected gunmen have been killed in the Saudi town of Buraida, north of the capital Riyadh, in a security operation linked to an earlier shooting in the east of the country.
Six people were also arrested on Tuesday in several other raids across the country, hours after five people were killed and nine others injured late on Monday in the Eastern Province.
An interior ministry spokesman said security forces raided several places in the cities of Riyadh, al-Ahsa, al-Khobar and throughout the Eastern Province, and apprehended those suspected of being involved in the shooting.
Referring to Monday's attack in the town of al-Dawla in the city of al-Ahsa, Major General Mansour Al-Turki said: "As a group of citizens was leaving a building ... three masked men opened fire at them with machine guns and pistols."
