Summary

A drone strike hit the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region, setting fire to a liquefied petroleum gas storage tank and halting production. Reports say the strike removed about 2.8 gigawatts of electricity generation and cut gas to power plants in several cities. The Kurdistan region's electricity ministry says a single drone hit the LPG tank, and reports describe smoke rising from the field. Dana Gas, the field's joint operator, says a fire was put out and staff were not hurt. Local Kurdish authorities have not confirmed the attack. No group has claimed responsibility, and reports differ on who was behind it: one says Kataib Hezbollah had recently referenced the facility, and another suspects Iran. Regional ministries called it a terrorist attack.
