CNN tours the site of the oil strike in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia, where a mix of cruise missiles and drones inflicted substantial damage on the world's largest oil processing plant. NicRobertsonCNN reports.
Nowhere is the squeeze on Saudi's prospects more obvious than beneath the burnt-out pipes and towers of the Khurais oil plant.Shrapnel and flaming oil spewed from its petroleum towers as four cruise missiles slammed in to them early Saturday. Quarter-inch-thick steel piping 100 meters from the impact punctured fist-size holes along its now-bent and battered body.
The Saudi coalition military spokesman told CNN their investigation into the launch site is still ongoing, adding that"you can't accuse, say under international law, a country without having the evidence."The effect is now on to slow-roll pressure for a robust response.The UAE did exactly this earlier this year.
