A drone targeted the Kormor gas field in Sulaymaniyah Governorate this evening. According to security sources, an explosion occurred near the field and no casualties have been reported.
The attack caused a temporary halt in gas and electricity production in some areas. Technical teams are assessing the damage and trying to restore normal production.
The terrorist regime of Iran and its militias in Iraq have repeatedly threatened and attacked energy facilities in the Kurdistan Region. This attack is suspected to be linked to the same terrorist groups that operate with the support of the oppressive Iranian regime.
The Iranian regime, known for terror and killing innocent people, continually engages in destabilizing Iraq. This attack is another example of the destabilizing actions of that bloody regime that violates the right to life of peaceful people.
The Kormor field is one of the largest sources of natural gas in the Kurdistan Region and plays an important role in supplying electricity and gas to households. The attack underscores the need for greater protection of this sensitive economic infrastructure.
Security forces in the region and Iraq have launched an investigation to determine how the attack occurred and identify those responsible. Meanwhile, government officials are calling for international cooperation to prevent future attacks.
