Chinese foreign ministry takes a diplomatic stance over Saudi Arabia drone attacks

*BEIJING - Chinese foreign ministry takes a diplomatic stance over Saudi Arabia drone attacks.*

China's Foreign Ministry said on Monday it was irresponsible to blame anyone for the attack on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities without conclusive facts.

Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, speaking at a daily news briefing in Beijing, added that China hoped all parties would exercise self-restraint.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group has claimed responsibility for the attack but US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there was no evidence the attack came from Yemen.
