Drone attacks trigger huge fires at Saudi Aramco oil facilities, Houthis claim responsibility
rt.com/news/468796-sa…
From the size of the fires the Houthis seem to have done extensive damage to Saudi's major oil processing site at Abqaiq.

It's about time the Saudis got some pay back for their illegal War of Aggression & policy of Genocide & Mass Starvation in Yemen (as well as supporting ISIS)
The fires at Saudi's Aramco oil processing plant at Abqaiq are so big that the plumes of smoke can be seen from space!

Saudi's oil and other infrastructure is extremely vulnerable to aerial attack, even from relatively unsophisticated drones and missiles.

Abqaiq and the surrounding area contains Saudi Arabia's largest oil export facilities and largest oil fields.

Pretty clear from this why the huge plume of smoke can be seen from space!
Expecting oil to spike Monday as people try to assess damage done to Saudi Arabia's exports by the Houthi attack, & the risk premium of future successful attacks as the Houthis rapidly improve their drone & missile capabilities.

When Bush invaded Iraq, oil went from $26 to $100
