At least 87 people were killed when a crane crashed in the holy city of Makkah's Grand Mosque on Friday, Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence Authority said, in an accident that came just weeks before Haj pilgrimage.
The head of the Civil Defence Authority told Al Akhbariya TV 184 people were also injured in the accident. Al Arabiya television earlier said the crane had fallen because of strong storms - western Saudi Arabia has been hit by strong sand storms in the last few days.
Pictures circulating on social media showed pilgrims in bloodied robes and masses of debris from a part of the crane that seemed to have crashed through a ceiling.
