29 people have been injured, including 3 seriously, after a Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 767 made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

315 people were on board. 12 people have been taken to hospital, with the three seriously injured individuals said to be in an ‘unstable condition’.

The plane was travelling from the Iranian city of Mashad when it was forced to make the landing. Officials said the landing gear had failed to properly deploy.

An eye witness told the BBC the plane made two aborted landing attempts before making its third emergency approach.
