by Reuters

   Saudi Arabian security forces shot down a toy drone Saturday in Riyadh,
   a senior Saudi official and the state news agency said, after videos
   were posted online showing gunfire in a neighborhood where a royal
   palace is located.

   A spokesman for the Riyadh police said forces at a checkpoint in the
   Khozama district identified the drone and "dealt with it according to
   their orders," state news said.

   No information was given about whether there were any injuries or
   damage.
