Drones bombed the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia and the Khurais oil field, operated by the state-owned Saudi Aramco, on Saturday according to the kingdom's interior ministry.

Mr Trump said the US had fresh evidence to back up Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's allegation that Iran was responsible.
