Saudi Aramco Contains Fire at Oil Sites After Yemen Drone Attack - Bloomberg:

Saudi Aramco contained fires at two of its facilities in the world’s largest oil-exporting region after attacks that Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for. 

The facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais were attacked at 4 a.m. local time, state-run Saudi Press Agency reported, citing an unidentified interior ministry spokesman. It didn’t give further details. Most of the oil produced in Saudi Arabia is processed at Abqaiq before export or delivery to refineries.

The attacks were carried out with 10 drones and came after intelligence cooperation from people inside Saudi Arabia, rebel-run Saba news agency reported, citing Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree. “Our upcoming operations will expand and would be more painful as long as the Saudi regime continues its aggression and blockade” on Yemen, he said.
