    Saudi Arabia takes journalists to badly damaged Aramco oil field

    Saudi Arabia has taken journalists to an oil field that was hit in a missile-and-drone attack six days ago.

    Journalists arrived Friday at the Khurais oil field in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, struck by several missiles in the attack. 
    Media toured a damaged stabilisation tower.

    A major processing plant was also targeted, in an incident that halved Saudi Arabia's oil production and disrupted global energy supplies.
