UPDATE 1-Saudi crown prince seeks S.Korea’s help to bolster defences after attacks

Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman asked South Korea on Wednesday to help strengthen the country’s air defence system after attacks on two oil plants, Seoul’s presidential office said. The request was made during a phone call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who expressed condolences over the damage from the attacks and support for a global fight against terrorism, Moon’s office said. Last weekend’s attacks on the Saudi crude facilities initially halved the country’s crude production, sending oil prices to four-month highs and prompting South Korea to consider releasing oil reserves.
