A drone attack on the Khor Mor gasfield, located in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq, has resulted in a significant power outage and the suspension of gas production. The incident occurred on Sunday night, with more than 70% of the Kurdish region left without electricity as a result. The attack reportedly struck the gas storage facility, causing a fire at the site and knocking out between 2,500 and 2,800 megawatts of electricity generation. It is unclear who is responsible for the attack or if it is related to ongoing tensions with Iran. Al-Zaidi, Iraq's Prime Minister, has reported no casualties from the attack, but has directed a joint investigative committee to be formed to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Tensions in the region have been heightened in recent times, with a similar drone strike on the same facility occurring last year, though no group has taken responsibility for either attack.
