A drone strike disrupted operations at the Khor-Mor gas field in Iraq, one of the region’s largest natural gas facilities, leading to severe power outages in northern areas, reported on November 27. The attack targeted a key gas storage facility, causing significant damage and ongoing fires, with several workers injured, according to an eyewitness. The incident temporarily halted production at the site, which serves as a critical energy hub for Iraqi Kurdistan.
The drone’s impact sparked concerns over potential escalation, though no details emerged on its origin or responsible party. Earlier in July, an explosive drone was shot down in Kirkuk province, but officials remained silent on any casualties or damage.
No further updates on the situation were provided as of the report.
