02:30Saudi Arabia: Wreckage of drones, missiles allegedly used in Aramco attacks put on display
The wreckage of drones and missiles allegedly used by Houthi forces to attack Saudi Aramco oil facilities were put on display at a military facility in Riyadh on Friday.
The attack on September 14 saw the oil processing plant in Abqaiq targeted with 18 drones and three cruise missiles. Khurais oil field was hit with four missiles. Both sites are operated by state-owned Saudi Aramco.
As a result of the attack, the oil output of Saudi Arabia was reduced by almost half, the equivalent of nearly five percent of global oil output.
Houthi forces operating in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack, however, the US and Saudi Arabia have both placed the blame on Iran, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling the attack an 'act of war.' Tehran has since denied any involvement in the attack.
