Drone attack halts Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region

Summary

A drone attack hit the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region, causing a fire and halting production. Reports say the strike hit an LPG storage or production unit and that about 2.8 gigawatts of power generation was suspended, leaving parts of the region short of electricity and cooking gas. Smoke was seen rising from the field, and the fire was reported extinguished. Dana Gas said a fire was caused at the facility. Local Kurdish authorities have not confirmed the attack. No group or state has claimed responsibility. Reports differ on the launch area, with some pointing to areas near Tuz Khurmatu and others saying the drone's origin is unidentified. Iraq's prime minister has ordered a joint investigation. The field has faced several earlier drone attacks since 2022, which Kurdish officials have blamed on Iran-linked militias.
