Drone Attack Halts Production at Iraq’s Khor Mor Gas Field

A drone attack set fire to Iraq’s Khor Mor gas field Sunday night, halting production at the region’s largest natural gas site and suspending deliveries to power plants in five cities.

The field is in northern Iraq’s Kurdistan region and is a major fuel source for local power stations. Gas supply was suspended to power plants in Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, Bazian, Chamchamal and Duhok.

Tom Barrack, the U.S. presidential envoy to Iraq and Syria, condemned the strike in a post on X. He described it as an attack on the Iraqi people and expressed support for Prime Minister Zaidi and the Kurdistan Regional Government in finding those responsible.
