RABAT, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Morocco strongly condemned on Monday attacks on Aramco oil production facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia.

In a message to King Salman bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, King Mohammed VI of Morocco expressed "full solidarity and continued support" for Saudi Arabia against all threats.

"The security and stability of Saudi Arabia is an integral part of Morocco's security and stability," according to the message published by the official news agency MAP.

Yemen's Houthi rebels on Saturday had claimed responsibility for the drone attacks on two Aramco oil plants in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia as reported by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

According to reports, the Saturday strike affected some five percent of the global oil supply. Enditem
