In Medina a suicide bomber detonated a device near the security headquarters of the Prophet’s Mosque, the second-holiest site in Islam, Saudi-owned al-Arabiya television reported on Monday.
The blasts in the two cities followed the one Jeddah on Monday, the last day of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan and start of the Eid al-Fitra festival. Pictures circulating on social media showed dark smoke billowing from flames near the mosque.
