#BREAKING
Saudis reveals wreckage of cruise missiles/drones
Official-Attack on Aramco not only targets Saudi Arabia, but targets the whole world. We call on int'l community to recognize #Iran's malicious attacks. Iran tried to falsify facts. Attack on Aramco came from the north.
Saudi official:
"We have evidence of Iran's involvement in acts of sabotage in the region through its agents. Attack on Aramco oil facilities shows Iranian regime targeting civilians and infrastructure. Iran is behind the Aramco attacks."
Saudi official:
"Iran manufactured the weapons that targeted Aramco. Precision missiles were used to target Aramco. Attacks on Aramco did not come from Yemen."

#UPDATE
Saudi Arabia is officially holding #Iran's regime responsible for Saturday's attack on its oil facilities.

NEWS: The US has identified the exact locations in Iran from which a combination of more than 20 drones and cruise missiles was launched against the Saudi oil facilities—from southern Iran at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, per a Sr. US official to @CBSDavidMartin @CBSNews
The senior official tells @CBSDavidMartin Saudi air defenses are all oriented south to protect against Houthi missile attacks from Yemen and were useless against missiles coming in from the north. @CBSNews
More from a US official to @CBSDavidMartin: A US team has been on the ground at the oil facilities and identified the specific types of drones and cruise missiles fired. @CBSNews

Houthi fighters in Yemen have claimed two drone attacks on Saudi #Aramco factories in Abqaiq and Khurais provinces which sparked large fires. Saudi interior ministry spokesman says the fires in the state oil company have been brought under control
Abqaiq plays a pivotal role in Aramco's day-to-day operations. #Saudi Aramco says #Abqaiq is the company's largest oil processing facility and the largest crude oil stabilization plant in the world saudiaramco.com/en/creating-va…
#SaudiArabia is shutting down about half of its #oil output after apparently coordinated drone strikes hit facilities in what #Yemen’s Houthi rebels described as one of their largest-ever attacks inside the kingdom according to @WSJ & @Reuters wsj.com/articles/drone…

#BREAKING: According to a source from Royal #SaudiArabia Air Force, the loitering drones which attacked the Aramco's Oil facilities in #Buqayq/#Abqaiq early morning today are most likely launched from #Iraq & not by #Houthi rebels in #Yemen.It took 3 hours to control the fire👇
#BREAKING: Without the help of #Iran's Islamic Regime & #IRGC it is almost impossible for #Iraq's #PMU (Hashd al-Shaabi) or #Yemen's #Houthi rebels to carry-out such a massive attack at #SaudiArabia's Oil industry deep inside the country's territory in #Buqayq/#Abqaiq today.
