* The top image shows the location of attacks inside the Abqaiq processing plant, while the second and third images show damage from strikes on the nearby Khurais oil field.
New satellite images show the scale of destruction at a vital Saudi oil facility after a series of drone attacks on Saturday.
The images, provided by the US government to the Associated Press (AP), show 17 impact sites at Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq oil plant and two at the Khurais oil field on Sunday.
The satellite image below shows the "stabilization area" of the Abqaiq facility. The area is where oil pumped out of the ground is treated in order to make it safe to move around the world via tanker ship.

I have access to two photos that claim the photos shown here are faked and that the so called damage was faked for economic purposes. I can not of course prove that the photos I have seen are the right ones and those here fakes, but readers at the very least might be a bit skeptical. I will not make photos I refer to available unless the editor of this site asks me to
If true Fred, Hollywood has a serious competitor.
10% increase in oil. It wouldn't be the first time the Saudis manipulated the oil market at great cost for everyone. Besides if they can get Iran attacked over a spoof, all the better for them. Not so good for the world though.
Roger--
I have no idea how true and accurate this is. However, the place I found this has been accurate over time. What assurance have we that what our govt and the Saudis make public is true and accurate?
Fred;
Like anything CNN or others I wait 'til the next day to see if their story is believable. This is my SOP these days no matter the source. Note and file for tomorrow.
So to answer your question, keep your salt shaker full for the grains of NACL we so often need. We have no assurance no matter the source.
Ain't that the truth Roger.
No matter what your read belief is tempered with knowledge of past lies and evasions, over optimistic reporting (either way, for or against) for clicks, and an internal sense of good morals, if present, in the reader that is.
