CAIRO, Sept 15 (NNN-MENA) – Egypt condemned on Saturday, drone attacks on two Aramco oil facilities in the east of Saudi Arabia, Egyptian Foreign Ministry said.
In a statement, the ministry affirmed Egypt’s solidarity with the government and people of Saudi Arabia, expressing support for the kingdom’s measures to maintain its security and stability, in order to confront all forms of terrorism, violence and extremism.
Earlier in the day, Yemen’s Iran-linked Houthis said, they launched early Saturday a 10-drone attack on major oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.
“We promise to widen our attacks, as long as the Saudi regime’s aggression and economic blockade against our country continue,” al-Masirah TV said, citing a statement from the group’s military spokesman, Yahya Sarea.
Meanwhile, the Saudi Interior Ministry said, the Houthi attacks caused fires at two facilities operated by Saudi state oil giant, Aramco.
This is the second major attack against Aramco in nearly one month.– NNN-MENA
