Saudi Arabia: 6 million barrels of oil lost in drone attacks

The US government has published images that, it says, show the damage of drones in Saturday's attack. State oil company Saudi Aramco says it lost six million barrels of oil, which would affect six percent of global oil production. However, Saudi Arabia's energy minister says it has oil reserves that will be used to compensate for the loss of production. But oil markets have not seen a closure at this scale since Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait to start the first Gulf War in 1990, and it is not clear how long the repairs will take.
