Saudi Arabia reveals findings of investigation on oil facilities attacks

Saudi Arabia on Wednesday (September 18) displayed remnants of what it described as Iranian drones and cruise missiles used in an attack on Saudi oil facilities as "undeniable" evidence of Iranian regime's aggression.

Defence Ministry spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki said a total of 25 drones and missiles were launched at two oil plants in last weekend's strikes, including what he identified as Iranian Delta Wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and "Ya Ali" cruise missiles. He said the missiles have been used by Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

Maliki said both drones and missiles were launched at Abqaiq, home to the world's largest oil processing facility, and that cruise missiles had targeted Khurais.

Yemen's Iranian regime-aligned Houthi movement, which has been battling a Saudi-led military coalition, had claimed responsibility for the strikes.

Maliki, who is also the spokesman for the coalition, reiterated that the attack could not have come from Yemen, saying the Houthi movement was "covering up" for Iranian regime.
