SANAA, Jan. 19 (YPA) – The Associated Press on Tuesday published satellite photos showing the aftermath of a fatal attack on an oil facility in the capital of the United Arab Emirates launched by Yemen’s Armed Forces.

Satellite images showed smoke rising over an Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. fuel depot in the Mussafah neighborhood of Abu Dhabi after the attack.

Another image taken shortly after appears to show scorch marks and white fire-suppressing foam deployed on the grounds of the depot.

The agency pointed out that ADNOC did not respond to questions from the AP asking about the site and damage estimates from the attack.

The company had said the attack happened around 10 a.m. Monday.
