In a statement, carried the said by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Prince Abdulaziz , the attacks "led to a temporary suspension of production at the Abqaiq and Khurais plant".

He said that part of the reduction would be compensated for by pulling on the Aramco-oil-stocks.

The Situation was said in both facilities, Aramco's CEO, Amin Nasser, adding that no casualties were reported in the attacks.

In a tweet, Mike Pompeo described The Attack as "an unprecedented attack on The World energy supply".

"We call on All Nations to publicly and unambiguously condemn the Iran attacks, the" Mr. Pompeo added.

The USA were their allies, to energy, to ensure markets remain well supplied and "Iran is responsible for its aggression," he added.

tensions between the US and Iran have escalated, as Mr Trump abandoned a deal to limit Iran 's nuclear activities in the last year, and again imposed sanctions.

The Houthi spokesman, Yahya Sarea said al-Masirah TV is owned by the Houthi Movement , and is based in Beirut, that more attacks could be expected in The Future .

He said on Saturday The Attack was one of the largest operations of the Houthi forces required had, in the interior of Saudi Arabia and was carried out in cooperation with the honorable people in the realm".

TV footage showed a huge fire at Abqaiq, site of Aramco is the largest oil-processing plant, while a second drone fires started attack in the Khurais oil field.

"At 04:00 (01:00 GMT), the industrial security team of Aramco began dealing with fires in two of its facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais as a result. Drones ," the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

production cut world prices

analysis of the BBC's business correspondent, Katie Prescott

Aramco is not only The World 's largest oil producer, it is also one of The World 's most profitable companies.

The Khurais oil field produces about 1% of The World 's oil-and Abqaiq, The Company is the largest plant with a capacity of process 7% of The World 's supply. Even a short or partial interruption might impact on The Company , and the oil supply, due to their size

There was a sharp intake of breath, as analysts I spoke to today, digested The Information , the reports indicate that half of Saudi Arabia could have its oil production, knocked offline by these attacks.

The country produced 10% of The World 's oil. You can cut this in half could have a significant impact on the price of oil Monday, when the markets are open.

the success of The drone strike shows the vulnerability of Aramco and the infrastructure, at a time when it is trying to show themselves in the best light, while gearing up for float on the stock exchange.

And it raises the fears that the escalation could represent the tensions in the region are at greater risk for the oil, a potentially dangerous fifth of The World 's supply goes through the critical Strait of Hormuz.

attack of the method, open to All

This latest attack underscores the strategic threat posed by the Houthis, Saudi Arabia 's oil facilities.

The growing complexity of the Houthis' drone operations is bound to renew The Debate over how and where this function is coming from. Have Drones , the Houthis simply for weapons used in commercial, civil, or you have significant help from Iran ?

The trump-management is likely to point the finger directly to Tehran, but experts differ in the extent to which you think that Iran is facilitating the drone campaign.

The Saudi Air Force was hard-targets in Yemen for years. Now the Houthis have a capable, if much more limited, ability to Strike Back . It shows that the era of armed Drones -restricted operations to a handful of large Nations is over.

the drone technology, albeit of varying degrees of sophistication, is for All - from the USA to China, Israel and Iran and the Houthis to Hezbollah.

Who are the Houthis are?

The Iran -aligned Houthi rebels, the Yemeni government and Saudi-led coalition has fought.

Yemen has been At War for 2015, to flee as President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi was forced to the capital city of Sanaa by the Houthis. Saudi Arabia assures President Hadi and led a coalition of States in the Region against The Rebels .

The Coalition starts air strikes almost Every Day , while the Houthis often fire rockets into Saudi Arabia .

Mr Sarea, the Houthi group's military spokesman, said al-Masirah, the operations against Saudi targets would "only bigger and more painful than before, so long as it continues its aggression and blockade".

the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes regularly target Houthis in Yemen

Houthi fighters were made responsible for drone attacks on the Shaybah natural gas liquefaction plant in the last month, and on other oil facilities in may.

There have also been other sources of tension in the region, often from the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran .

Saudi Arabia and the United States blames Iran for attacks in The Gulf on two oil tankers in June and July, allegations Tehran denies.

In may, four tankers, two of them, the Saudi-flag, were damaged by the explosions of the UAE's territorial waters in The Gulf of Oman.

tension in vital shipping lanes deteriorates, if Iran shot down a U.S. drone surveillance over the Strait of Hormuz in June, what announced a month later at The Pentagon .
