Observer Online Report
A drone attack has struck the Khor Mor gas field, one of the largest gas fields in Iraq's Kurdistan region, forcing authorities to suspend production.
The attack took place on Sunday when a drone hit a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank at the gas field in Sulaymaniyah province, sparking a fire. Workers at the facility were subsequently evacuated to safety.
Electricity generation at the site was also halted following the attack, leaving around 70 per cent of the Kurdistan region without power.
A joint statement by the Kurdistan Region's ministries of Natural Resources and Electricity described the incident as a terrorist attack.
However, no group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
