Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdul Aziz, Prince of the Eastern Province, has ordered the formation of a committee to investigate the incident.

The public prosecutor's office has confirmed that the fire did not result in any deaths, adding that it started because of a sudden failure in the air conditioning units on the top floor of the building.
