Celebratory gunfire at a wedding party in Saudi Arabia has brought down an electric cable, killing 23 people, a local civil defence official said.
"At the wedding, the cable fell on a metal door and the 23 people were all electrocuted," Eastern Province official Abdullah Khashman explained.
A photograph of the aftermath of the accident, published on local newspapers' websites showed a large courtyard strewn with fallen chairs and a pole in the middle supporting cables carrying lightbulbs.
