The ministry revealed that the two individuals had received training in camps affiliated with terrorist entities, with the intention of undermining the security of both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
They were also involved in communication with terrorists inside Saudi Arabia, providing support for terrorist activities and smuggling explosives and capsules used in bombings into Saudi Arabia.
The executions took place on Monday morning in the predominantly Shia Eastern Province, which had experienced unrest in the past.
The Bahraini authorities have not yet commented on the executions.
Bahrain accuses Iran of arming individuals, forming and training groups to carry out attacks in the kingdom with the aim of destabilizing its stability, a claim denied by Tehran.
Saudi authorities maintain that the accused individuals have exhausted all legal avenues, emphasizing that the government is committed to establishing security, ensuring justice, and implementing divine rulings against those who threaten the safety of its citizens.
