Gasfield in northern Iraq hit by drone attack: Reports
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
A drone attack on Iraq’s Khor Mor gasfield has forced the facility to suspend operations, cutting off power across much of the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, according to media reports. The attack was staged on Wednesday night at about 11:30 pm local time (20:30 GMT), the Reuters news agency reported. It hit several gas storage tanks, resulting in an explosion and large fire that injured several workers, the agency said. At least 60 percent of the region's population has no power. It's unclear who's behind the attack, which comes days after security forces prevented another drone from reaching the facility. Al Jazeera’s Mahmoud Abdelwahid reports from Baghdad.
