BreakingNews·190918 - 沙特?zé)o人機(jī)襲擊后油價(jià)上漲

Oil prices soared on Monday after the drone attacks on oil plants in Saudi Arabia. Prices saw their biggest rise in a decade. At one point, prices shot up by nearly 20 per cent. This is the biggest one-day rise since the 1990-91 Gulf War. Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq oil plant cut the kingdom's oil production in half. The attacks will cut the world's daily oil production by five per cent. The Bloomberg news agency said it could take weeks for Saudi to repair the damage. During this time, people could see higher gasoline prices at the pumps, especially in Asia. People may also have to pay higher prices for food and other goods.

無(wú)人機(jī)襲擊沙特阿拉伯的石油工廠后，周一油價(jià)飆升。油價(jià)出現(xiàn)了十年來(lái)的最大漲幅，一度飆升近20%。這是自1990-91年海灣戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)以來(lái)最大的單日漲幅。沙特阿拉伯能源部長(zhǎng)阿卜杜勒阿齊茲·本·薩勒曼親王說(shuō)，無(wú)人駕駛飛機(jī)襲擊沙特阿比克石油廠，使沙特石油產(chǎn)量減半。這些襲擊將使世界石油日產(chǎn)量減少5%。彭博社說(shuō)，沙特可能需要數(shù)周時(shí)間才能修復(fù)損失。在此期間，人們可以看到加油站的汽油價(jià)格上漲，尤其是在亞洲。人們可能還要為食品和其他商品支付更高的價(jià)格。

Yemen's Houthi group has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Saudi Arabia. The group said the attacks were because of Saudi Arabia's attacks on rebel groups in Yemen. Iran's President Hassan Rouhani supported the Houthi claim. He called the attack an act of self defense. He said: "Yemeni people are exercising their legitimate right of defense. The attack was a reciprocal response to years of Saudi aggression against Yemen." However, an Arab coalition says there is evidence that the weapons used to strike the Saudi oil plants were made by Iran. U.S. officials say satellite images suggest the attacks came from either Iraq or Iran and not Yemen. Iranian officials called the U.S. allegations "maximum lies".
