Drone Attack Halts Operations at Gas Field in Iraqi Kurdistan

A drone attack targeted the Kormor Gas Field in the Chamchamal district of Sulaymaniyah province in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, forcing production and exports to halt. No casualties were reported, but the extent of the damage and the timeline for resuming operations remain unclear. The Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Electricity warned that the disruption could cut power generation by 2,500 to 2,800 megawatts, as several major power plants rely on gas from the field. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Zaydi ordered a joint investigation with regional authorities to determine the circumstances of the attack.
