ABQAIQ —
The terrorist drone attack targeting Saudi Aramco oil facilities did not cause any human injuries. There was material damage only, sources told Okaz/Saudi Gazette.

A tour of Abqaiq governorate showed that life had returned to normal. Despite Saturday being a weekend vacation, life was normal. Just after 7.00 in the morning, life was throbbing and shops returned to their economic activities and the flow of traffic was normal.

The Saudi citizen Abdullah Al-Mansouri stressed that the terrorist attack targeting Aramco oil facilities reveals the reality of the terrorist attempts to target Saudi Arabia and its economy. He asserted that these would not cause fear or intimidate the citizens, as the Saudi people are standing united and rallying behind their leadership.

Meanwhile, citizen Abdullah Al-Hajri considered the return of life to normal just a few hours after the terrorist attack as a clear message that the aggression did not achieve its goals. He added that targeting the main nerve of the global economy poses a serious threat to the countries of the world.

He said that the shops and economic establishments are functioning normally. This confirms the Saudi people’s confidence in their leadership. He asserted that the Saudi people would not be distracted by such attacks that reveal the inability to engage in direct confrontation.

Another citizen Talib Al-Aslami said that the terrorist attack targeting Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Abqaiq governorate will not have any effect on the normalcy of life in the governorate, as the situation is as usual.

All are carrying out their life activities as usual “without even looking at such terrorist acts”. He added that the scheduled activities during the weekend carried on without any changes. Things are moving according to their usual daily tempo.
