Rocket attack hits Iraq gas field, cuts power supply

A rocket attack hit a storage tank at Iraq’s Khor Mor gas field, one of the largest in the Kurdistan region, shutting production and causing power cuts, joint field operator Dana Gas said on Thursday.

“At 11:30 pm (2030 GMT), a drone attacked the Khor Mor gas field facility, cutting off all gas supplies to power plants,” the northern region's gas and electricity authorities said in a statement. A video posted on Kurdish broadcaster Rudaw on X showed smoke billowing from the site after the drone attack.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility and authorities did not say who was behind the attack, which did not cause any casualties and took place late on Wednesday. The gas field provides supplies for regional power generation, and the attack did not impact oil production or exports.
