(Worthy News) – Saudi oil sites attacked on Saturday — in a drone assault linked to Iran — were seen to have sustained damage after satellite images released Sunday captured char marks and smoke billowing from the world’s largest oil processing facility.
The weekend attack ignited huge fires at Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq oil processing facility and interrupted about 5.7 million barrels of crude oil production — over 5 percent of the world’s daily supply.
U.S. satellite images appeared to show approximately 17 points of impact on key infrastructure at the site after the attack. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
