Saudi Arabia presents its evidence in the Aramco attack

World

Wed 18 September 2019:

At the briefing conducted late on Wednesday, spokesperson Col. Turki Al-Maliki said the attack definitely came from the north and was certainly supported by Iran.

Saudi Arabia’s defence ministry has shown off what is says is wreckage of drones and cruise missiles that prove Iranian involvement in weekend attacks on two oil facilities.

It said 18 drones and seven cruise missiles struck from a direction that ruled out Yemen as a source.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels had said they were behind the attacks.

Iran has denied any involvement and warned it would retaliate against any military response.

Turki Al-Maliki said that Iranian-made drones called “Delta Wing” participated in the attack and that the drones were flying from north to south.

He added that cruise missiles which Iran claimed to have were also used. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards had announced in February last year that they had advanced models of cruise missiles.

The drones that were responsible for the terror attack on the oil facilities had an advanced positioning system. The spokeperson added that 25 drones and a cruise missile were used in the attack.
