At least 100 people have been killed after a crane collapsed on to the Grand Mosque in the Saudi Arabian city of Mecca, the country’s Civil Defence Authority has said.
Over 238 people were wounded, the civil defence authority tweeted.
It is not clear what happened, but images on social media showed a large number of dead and wounded.
The accident comes amid preparations for the annual Muslim Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca later this month.
