He added: "We are facing a terrorist operation carried out by a group of extremists who committed a terrible act." For his part, Director of Public Security, Obaidullah Al-Maaytah, said that the number of victims reached 7 dead and 27 injured.

He added, "It is premature to talk about the names of the suspects. We have available information and the work is continuing, and we cannot specify a time period for its completion because it is related to the nature of the situation."
