Heavy rains have lashed Saudi Arabia for several days, causing severe flash floods throughout the Kingdom and at least one death in southern Asir province.

Earlier on Friday, a train derailed near the eastern city of Dammam, injuring 18 people, after flooding from heavy rains caused the rail line to erode.

The 193 passengers and 6 crew members were transferred to another train and taken to Dammam after the incident occurred at about 1:00 am, it said, adding that all injuries were minor.
