Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has died, state television reported early on Friday, and his brother Salman became king, it said in a statement attributed to Salman.
King Salman, thought to be 79, has called on the family's Allegiance Council to pay allegiance to Muqrin as his crown prince and heir.
By immediately appointing Muqrin as his heir, Salman has moved to avert widespread speculation about the path of the royal succession in the world's top oil exporter.
President Barack Obama expressed condolences and saluted the late king's commitment to close U.S.-Saudi ties.
"As a leader, he was always candid and had the courage of his convictions," Obama said in a statement. "One of those convictions was his steadfast and passionate belief in the importance of the U.S.-Saudi relationship as a force for stability and security in the Middle East and beyond."
"The closeness and strength of the partnership between our two countries is part of King Abdullah's legacy," the statement added.
