One gunman was killed and two detained, the broadcaster said on Twitter, citing the Saudi interior ministry, without providing more details.
“In the interest of the investigation, their names cannot be revealed,” it said.
The attack comes as Saudi Arabia has been engaged in a deadly war against its southern neighbor, Yemen, since early 2015.
Around 600,000 people have been killed and injured in Riyadh’s aggression.
The military positions in Asir region have repeatedly been hit in counter-attacks by Yemeni forces.
