Drone Attack Targets Khor Mor Gas Field in Kurdistan Region
A drone strike on the Khor Mor gas field has halted gas supplies, resulting in a significant loss of electricity generation capacity in the region.
The Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region was hit by a booby-trapped drone, targeting a liquefied petroleum gas tank at the facility in Sulaymaniyah province.
The region's Ministries of Natural Resources and Electricity reported that the attack caused a loss of approximately 2,800 megawatts of power generation capacity.
Initial reports confirmed that all personnel were evacuated from the site, with no human casualties recorded despite the fire that broke out at the facility.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has ordered the formation of an official investigative committee to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Authorities are currently working to mitigate the impact of the energy disruption on the public, while no group has claimed responsibility for the attack at this time.
