“France strongly condemns the attacks carried out yesterday against the Abkayk and Khurais oil facilities. She expresses her full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, ”RIA Novosti quoted the French Foreign Ministry as saying.

On September 14, in Saudi Arabia, drones attacked two refineries of the state-owned company Saudi Aramco, after which fires occurred at the plants.

Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Abdel-Aziz bin Salman said oil attacks reduced by 50% as a result of attacks on Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities, with some of the losses being compensated from back-up storage facilities.
