The reports, quoting police, witnesses, and television, say that in the first blast, a car tried to crash into a gate outside the Interior Ministry building in the heart of Riyadh, triggering a shoot-out with security guards before the vehicle blew up.
The reports say that shortly afterwards, another car bomb exploded outside a camp for special security forces in the eastern part of the capital after trying to ram its way in, leading to a firefight with guards.
Unconfirmed reports suggested one person was killed in the attacks. No further details are available.
The car-bomb blast occurred hours after Saudi security forces killed a gunman in Riyadh in a shoot-out as they combed a district where a terror suspect and a civilian were killed in a clash last night.
